2025 Vantage Point Certifications

News & Announcements

At Vantage Point, we know that expertise isn’t static. Just like your business operation — it evolves. That’s why we invest in continuous learning and professional development across our teams. In 2025, team members across the organization earned new certifications that deepen our capabilities and strengthen the support we provide to clients every day. 

What This Means For You

These certifications are more than professional milestones — they’re a reflection of our commitment to delivering advanced, secure, and forward-thinking solutions. Here’s how these translate into real-world value for you:

  • Well-rounded financial understanding. Financial certifications like AAP, CAMS, and CRCM show deep understanding of financial risks and compliance by understanding payments, knowing how criminals exploit financial systems and how to stop them, and ensuring organizations comply with laws and regulations. 
  • Stronger security posture. Certifications like CEH, GPEN, CompTIA Cysa+, CompTIA Security+, Fortinet Certifications (FCA, FCF, FCP, FCSS), and AAISM equip our team to architect and maintain resilient cybersecurity environments – helping protect your data and operations from evolving threats.
  • More agile networks. ATSA, ATSP, JNCIP-SP, JNCIS-SP, and CCNA-certified staff can design and manage robust network infrastructures, giving you the speed, reliability, and scalability your business demands.
  • Smarter project execution. Professional Engineers bring proven project management expertise, ensuring your initiatives stay on track, on time, and on budget.
  • Deeper data privacy insight. With VMCE and Object First Advanced Technical Professionals, we help you navigate complex privacy regulations and implement safeguards that protect sensitive information, as well as lead to higher reliability through expert backup and disaster-recovery planning.

We’re proud of our team’s dedication to continuous improvement. Their achievements empower us to deliver advanced solutions, enhanced protection, and exceptional service — so you can focus on what matters most.
