Along with the launch of the overall program, McAfee is announcing the global availability of two certification exams. The McAfee Certified Product Specialist exam’s first release focuses on McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (McAfee ePO) platform. Achieving a passing score on this exam grants the title of McAfee Certified Product Specialist -- ePolicy Orchestrator.

Additional exams will be added to create a full curriculum of deep, continually updated security certifications.

“Earning a McAfee Certified Product Specialist or a McAfee Certified Assessment Specialist Certification helps IT professionals stand out by exhibiting the skills required to perform the job function covered by those certifications,” said Ray Komar, senior director of Global Education Services at McAfee. “Certification distinguishes individuals who have demonstrated superior levels of technical expertise that address enterprise security needs.”
