New Security Certifications forum and Moderator

Webmaster

Welcome to our new Security Certifications forum. As many of you know, security has become a hot topic in the IT industry, hence in the IT certification industry. So we felt the time is right to add a new forum dedicated to security related certifications.

The 'sticky' posts in this forum contain basic info about the most popular security certs. When we get a lot of posts about a particular cert or vendor, I will create a separate forum for it (i.e. CEH, or ISC2).

I will also post some of the best resources with study material and practice exams for these certifications and will start on writing practice exams and TechNotes for some of these exams soon. If you think you have something good to contribute contact me using the PM feature and we'll work something out.

Together with this new forum comes a new moderator. I'm proud to announce that Ten9t6 will moderate this new forum. He has an impressive list of security certs in his pocket, including CISSP, SSCP, CEH, MCSE:Security, and more, and will try to answer your questions when he can.

Please post CompTIA Security+ questions where they belong, in our Security+ forum.
