Excellent Site

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has contributed. I have not been working in IT for very long and the contributions to this site have helped me to pass both the Sec+ and the Net+.

I do not have much to contribute that has not been added, but here is what I think.

I used two books - Exam Cram and Sec+ for Dummies in addition to the site. I adhered to standard protocol in taking the test when I had read both books and could pass all tests with a 90+. Pay attention to the ports as there were a few specific questions regarding ports. (Easy correct answer - no second guessing and straight forward.) The tect notes are right on-line.

Finally, if there are any suggestions or recommendations for additional security certs outside the CISSP please pass along.

Congratulations!

And thanks for the compliments about the site and the TechNotes.

Finally, if there are any suggestions or recommendations for additional security certs outside the CISSP please pass along.

- SSCP (like CISSP from ISC2, but requires only 1 year direct related experience)
- CEH (certified ethical hacker)
- CheckPoint firewall certs
- CCSP or any of the Cisco specialist certs (IDS, PIX, etc.)

Just suggestions, cause it's hard to recommend what 'you' should do. Check out our Security Certifications forum for more info.
