Passing the ST0-097 exam earns you the Symantec Brightmail Gateway 9.0 STS Certification certification, a Professional-level credential. It is the vendor's official proof that your skills meet the standard employers look for, and it regularly appears as a requirement in job postings. The certification also relates to Symantec Technical Specialist (STS), so it can anchor a broader certification plan rather than stand alone.
