I wouldn't hire anyone who brain **** this exam. Not because they're a cheater but because it's such an easy exam and they should be ashamed of themselves for doing it. Maybe I'm being hard, but I prefer the SAN, ISACA, ISC exams over the CompTIA exams.
Also, AnthonyF posted the preliminary DoD 8140, which outlines the other certifications the work force is supposed to have. -

Sorry, I couldn't help myself. I was given the opportunity to sign up for a free take for the CASP and couldn't take time off to schedule the exam. If I did and passed, then that would have made it even more of a great story to tell.Spicy :cool: Mentor the future! Be a CyberPatriot! -

CISSP changes the test questions all the time. Braindump developers cannot make **** for content that is ever changing.
CompTIA does not change their tests frequently and braindumps for their exam are very common.Graduated - WGU BS IT December 2011

Optionsinstant000 Member Posts: 1,745I'm looking at the chart, and trying to figure out which certs would qualify you for the most jobs.
CISSP + CEH gets you everything but IASAE III and CNDSP Manager. (I believe that JDMurray pointed this out on another thread.)
What does this show?
EC-Council has marketed the CEH very well.
(ISC)2 has marketed the CISSP very well.
CompTIA has marketed the CASP very well.
The only place the CASP (as well as the CISSP) look out of place is at the IAT Level III. How come no one questions the CEH dominating the CNDSP row?Currently Working: CCIE R&S

Optionsbroli720 Member Posts: 394 ■■■■□□□□□□I really don't understand the hate for CASP. I thought it was challenging even though it was easier than CISSP. Yes it's probably dumpable but employers factor that in when hiring new personnel so that's why we are judged on more than just certs. I think the exam was well written and had good simulations. Only con I have is that it should have been longer and they need to change the questions every 6 months.

Optionssigsoldier Member Posts: 136 ■■■□□□□□□□I think as long as "CompTIA" is in the title, it will always lack a certain degree of credability by some. I for one am happy that there is now another option for IAT III. However, as some of you have stated, the CISSP is still the bread and butter cert.

Optionsbroli720 Member Posts: 394 ■■■■□□□□□□It's a 50 question exam give or take a few questions. Given the number of questions I don't think the 1 year refresh they use for Security+ will cut it. I'm just assuming here based on what I've heard.

Thats because people badmouth the CEH for other reasons. Also, there was a report stating that DoD is starting to dislike CEH on 8570 because it has no practical portion. I'll see if I can dig it up.

I'd like to hear a response to broli720's question. I wrote the CASP off primarily because of TE reviews...
And finally, Why did they take the GSE off of the approved list? And when did SCP certs get removed? (I'm glad they did, just wondering when they figured out the company was out of business.) -
OptionsJDMurray Admin Posts: 13,034 AdminAnd finally, Why did they take the GSE off of the approved list?
Also, the GSE is not ISO/IEC 17024, which is a requirement of all certifications approved by 8570.01, so it's wonder how it got on in the list in first place.

OptionsDrackar Member Posts: 47 ■■□□□□□□□□CompTIA has this cert listed as a higher level than Security+ . It seems to me to be somewhere in the “IT Security and Networking Foundation” and also looks like its more of a managerial cert.
I looked at this post for some of my research:

Let me move some things around to get the SSCP and the CASP in the chart.To be a warrior is not a simple matter of wishing to be one. It is rather an endless struggle that will go on to the very last moment of our lives. Nobody is born a warrior, in exactly the same way that nobody is born an average man. We make ourselves into one or the other.

OptionsGrafixx01 Member Posts: 109 ■■■□□□□□□□Told a colleague of mine, who has failed the CISSP 2x, and they were like, "Whoot! Whoot! Time to get a brain-**** for the CASP so I can get hired on as a IAT III!"
They told me, "Why did you waste your time with the CISSP when you could have just gotten CASP and gotten the same level?!?!"
Not happy, I am but that is just because I feel that CASP at that level, even IAM II devalues the certifications that actually have people put in some effort to pass with study time, knowledge, CPEs, and money! Just my opinion though. -

They both agreed they would rather try CISSP again. Apparently, CASP is only easier if you are technically inclined (they were managerial types)."Once upon a time, disks were floppy, administrators were electricians and computers were louder then jets. Then it all got complicated." -Anon

Optionsjvrlopez Member Posts: 913 ■■■■□□□□□□I've overheard several people at work plan on taking CASP over CISSP due to their belief that it is the easier option of the two.And so you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further.

I've always felt that you can't make good policy if you don't understand the technical side, so I plan on becoming very familiar with the technical side despite my lack of hands-on experience.
