Note: something that doesn't involve passing another certification/exam

Apparently with GIAC, CEH is a yes, but OSCP is a no. Really GIAC? I wonder if Youtube Defcon would count for a good portion of this. I just did an OWASP Meetup.com meetup, which was basically a Youtube live stream, so perhaps something a few of those.

EDIT: There we are

Thanks mate! I need to find something soon to get some CPEs. Didn't think I'd worry about it as I was happy to let them expire but my current employer wants to use my certs in proposals so I need to maintain my two GIAC certs.

well so I remember that I attended an AppSec OWASP one day conference last year, I added it and it was accepted. 6 x CPEs. Now I need to find ways to get the rest...

What about listening to some of the webinars? They count too. You can find them on the SANS website.

SANS offer some free summit.. 6CPE per days. The theme of the last one on Oct 9th was Cyber Defense. Great content as usual

Surprised no one has posted a link to the actual renewal page: https://www.giac.org/certifications/renewal

They do not allow you to renew from just webcasts alone. You will also need to hit a few other categories. They have also been running a few publically available NetWars competitions which also count for 6 CPE: https://www.sans.org/blog/and-now-for-something-awesome-sans-launches-new-series-of-worldwide-capture-the-flag-cyber-events/

Renewed my GCFA today....

Need to get onto some CPEs for GPEN..haven't done anything yet. WIll do some webinars and see. I have 6 CPEs so far from a OWASP event I attended in 2019

UnixGuy

Question, for SANS webcasts, can I get the CPE counted if listened to an archived webcast? I just can't make the live webcasts due to time difference

scasc

Yep, don’t see why not.

the easiest way with SANS is to participate to their summit.. many CPE to attend webcast.
