Do you really need to know other systems?

sleemie · April 2006

I'm thinking of taking a boot camp course and in the objectives they said something about it's for people familiar with systems other than MS, such as novel, linux, etc.

I work in a microsoft/cisco environment and that's all I know, would you still recomment this certification?

I'm currently working on my CCNA, and I've got the old NT 4.0 MCSE.

Well I didn't notice any other systems in the exam. What you really need is to be able to see the bigger picture as in Security as a whole. And then the techniques that are at each stage

After studying for this exam, I actually look at Security in a different way. Now I fully understand why Security is a hot topic.

I think everyone that works in IT should take this exam.

Security+ is vendor neutral, so yes you need to understand the basics of other systems (I assume you mean other than Microsoft).
