by Anonymous

Columbia Falls, MT April 14, 2004 -- Jeremy Martin of Columbia Falls, MT has earned the designation of Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP), the premier professional certification for information security experts. The CISSP is awarded by the
International Information Systems Security Certification Consortium (ISC)2, a non-profit consortium dedicated to training and certifying information security professionals worldwide.

“In today’s security-aware environment, corporations and government agencies are implementing comprehensive information security programs to prevent the network break-ins, virus infections and malicious codes that have become a way of life,” said Jim Duffy, managing director of (ISC)2 based in Framingham, Mass. “With this new sense of urgency and mission, the lack of highly trained security professionals is getting a fresh look as an underlying problem in meeting global information security needs.”

Since the beginning of 2000, Jeremy has worked at a Columbia Falls based technology company, PLUSS Corporation, helping secure the automotive industry. He has authored articles published in the industries leading trade magazines. Before gaining the title of Director of Communications at PLUSS, Jeremy specialized in business continuity/disaster recovery planning, application development, and telecommunications security. Currently holding Cisco's CCNA and Microsoft MCP, Jeremy is working to achieve the industries highest honor of Certified Cisco Internet working Expert (CCIE) and Microsoft Certified Systems Expert (MCSE).

“Jeremy Martin’s career in information security should be greatly enhanced with the CISSP credential,” said Duffy. “The CISSP confirms his knowledge of a broad range of information security domains and at least three years of professional experience. Martin’s CISSP designation will also require him to acquire continuing education credits to maintain his certification.”
