I like to share the news that I just received a passing grade on my Capstone Project. This passing grade means that I am done with a B.S. in IT Security. YeeHAW!

....A month rest, and on to MSISA!!! Feeling really good now.

Awesome man! You are much more ambitious than I... I waited 6 months to start my MSISA program there. Just keep in mind that it's no longer called the MSISA, it's the MSCIA - Master's in Cybersecurity and Information Assurance. That is, of course, if you are continuing at WGU. Here is the comparison of the two programs' classes:

MSISA
Current and Emerging Technology
Cyberlaw, Regulations and Compliance
Hacking Countermeasures and Techniques
Cryptography
Ethical Hacking
Vulnerability Assessment
Forensics and Network Intrusion
Security Policies and Standards – Best Practices
Risk Management
Disaster Recovery Planning, Prevention and Response
Information Security and Assurance Capstone Project

MSCIA
Cyberwarfare
Risk Management
Cyberlaw, Regulations, and Compliance
Secure Network Design
Security Policies and Standards - Best Practices
Secure Software Design
Ethical Hacking
Forensics and Network Intrusion
Disaster Recovery Planning, Prevention and Response
Information Security and Assurance Capstone Project

As you can see, there are a few differences. What is nice though, is that the new program still includes the CEH and CHFI certifications. Best of luck! You will see that the TaskStream assignments are MUCH more challenging, but it felt awesome to finally complete everything.
