CISA - Computer Forensics

Is it worth getting the CISA if you are looking into computer forensics?

I would like to know this as well.

Wouldn't be my first choice. I can think of so many certs that have better value to a forensicator such as GCFx, EnCe, CCE, CCFE, and CCFP. For a dedicated forensics role I doubt you would see any posts requiring or suggesting CISA. I'm seeing CISA listed along forensics certs only in general security analyst or consulting type roles.

Again, not saying there's no value, just that there's better value with other certs.

Thanks cyberguypr! Where I work it would be useful, but I was debating spending the money in the event that I move to a position that is solely investigative. What are your thoughts on CCFP?
