Certification Preservation

Cyber security expertise is a journey, not a destination. Attacker tactics and techniques are constantly shifting and morphing.

To ensure our certificate holders stay abreast of current cyber trends, Mandiant Academy requires 90 CPE credits to be earned during their three-year certification cycle to ensure proficiency and readiness in protecting their organization’s networks from unauthorized access and business-crippling attacks of today’s evolving threat landscape.

Failure to meet the CPE requirements within 30 days of the certificate’s expiration date will result in suspension of certification.

Incident Response Certification
