Cert check
I am trying to validate the CISSP certification of a person who contacted me on LikedIn, Joesph K Black, of Black and Berg Security Consulting. Now I won't go into specifics yet, until I get more info, but I have some doubts.
I saw this thread:
http://www.techexams.net/forums/isc-sscp-cissp/32731-cissp-holders.html
and used the public locator and was unable to find him, I don't have his CISSP number to validate him on the verification link.
Can someone look him up for me?

So I looked him up on google and found his youtube channel. Nothing too crazy, but a video for an application as an instructor at a college. (The guy has less than six years experience, less than that in IT Security. All of his videos are commented on by a spammer named "lisasuzanneberg" perhaps the Berg in Black and Berg?
On every video of his she claims: "Wow! This stuff is really practical and easy to implement without making drastic lifestyle changes. I would definitely recommend these videos to my friends!"
Yes, that includes his biography.
I don't know, he seems like he is just a guy trying to survive in these tough times, but is he going about it the wrong way? Or am I over-analyzing?
EDIT: he has his certs on his FB, CISSP is legit.
Yes, you heard me.
from his message to me:
Good to hear from you.
We have intelligence that suggests the Rockefeller-Snowe Cybersecurity Act of 2010 is GOING TO BE SIGNED BY THE PRESIDENT.
If you read that legislation carefully, it is obvious that the private sector is going to have much more responsibility in securing our national critical infrastructure in the future.
That legislation along with the NICE (National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education) campaign, sheds some light on the future of Cyberwarfare.
The bottom line is that America is under attack via Cyberspace. The US military just named Cyberspace the 5th domain of warfare preceded by land, sea, air, and space. Our intention at Black & Berg is to support the US Cybercommand from the private sector. The US Cybercommand consists of > 1000 of the world's best hackers and spies. At Black & Berg we are private defense contractors for the DoD (CAGE Code 5ZUU4) and we are already > 100 strong. Our private Cyberarmy consists of the best hackers and Information Security professionals from the private sector.
We are organizing. There is a Cyberwar on the horizon and the private sector will benefit greatly from organizing early.
Our intent is 100% defensive, even though the Internet is not designed well for a defensive effort. It gives the advantage to offensive operations, yet we will focus on defense at first. We are educating kids and adults in responsible and safe use of the Internet and raising the awareness of the entire country. After we are established as a credible source in the Information Security field we will begin to look at possible offensive operations. At which time we will be prepared to deceive, deny, disrupt, degrade and destroy our enemies information and computers.
But for now we will play nice. For now we will focus on education and compliment the Governments NICE program.
I hope I helped answer any of your question!
So now, B&B is the cover for his cyberarmy, that wants to perform defensive security of the internet, just until we get their trust, THEN WE ATTACK! Because we know how easy it is to find the true perpetrators of a cyber attack. And Its okay for us as civilians to "assist" the government in warfare without permission.
Oh and by the way, the reason his site is down, it got hit with a "massive cyber attack." Great job at securing the internet. I think i'm going to warn a few people about this company, I truly believe their(his) intentions are as altruistic as they claim.
Not sure, but I would assume Defense Logistics Agency (DLA).
Or Defense Contract Management Agency (dcma.mil).
And Mr. Berg, I'm no lawyer, but i'm pretty sure the tagline you are using on your facebook: "I'm CEO *****" Is probably copyrighted by the company that produced The Social Network. And I must say that it, along with some of the pictures on your facebook are very professional.
Oh sorry I think I've misunderstood what you said. I will edit my post
I found this as a comment under one of the pictures:
It is kind of saddening, just helps out all of the liars out there since the only way you can verify is with their permission, and if they know it isn't true they won't give you permission.
