Re: Governance and Compliance
Thanks gents, I appreciate the feedback! @TheFORCE, I've looked into CISA in the past and unfortunately do not meet the work experience requirements, yet (although I'm definitely interested). I've looked at CISSP as well, whose domain requirements are a little more ambiguous than CISA's, and am wondering if my past… -
Re: GOT A+ & Network + ...Seeking recommendations about next certificates
If you're confident you want to be a network expert in the future, I'd go down the CCENT -> CCNA path as early as possible. But first, I'd get into a purely IT job to gain experience. I wouldn't waste time/money on Security+, Server+, CISSP if you know you're going into networking. ITIL is more worth your while. Why and… -
Re: Is it acceptable to list the A+ on my resume while waiting on the official email?
Are they actually requiring that you attach proof of having the cert proof? That usually happens later on, if at all. The moment that computer reads "Congratulations, you passed..." you can list you are A+ certified anywhere you want. However tan incident a few years ago comes to mind where a bunch of peeps who failed the… -
Re: How do you study for your certs to get a job ?
After I got my A+ and MCP in Windows Workstation I pretty much studied for certs on subjects I was currently working on. Finished my MCSE as I went from Helpdesk to Desktop Support and then Lan Admin Did the 2000 track when we were migrating from NT to 2000 so I pretty much started with 2000 Server MCP exam. Got my CCA for… -
Re: New to Security... Help reqd from Sec Pro's
I agree that starting with Sec+ will give you a good base from which to begin. As mentioned, if you like the Cisco track you can continue down that road with their security related certifications. There are also numerous GIAC certifications that specialize in different areas of security. The CISSP is the grand daddy of… -
Re: What are you study habits like when studying for multiple certs?
Personally I'd focus on only one cert at a time. Learn the material well, pass the test and move on to the next. I do think you need to give yourself some free time, you and your brain need a chance to rest . Plus, life is too short to just spend all your time studying for certs. That being said, the only time I did devote… -
Re: Anomaly-based vs Behavior-based IDS/IPS
Keep in mind these are vendor neutral terms and your CCNA books may be referring to Cisco's own implementation. There is both Host-based and network based IDS and IPS, when you refer to stopping something on the wire, this would be in a network based implemenation. For a more thourgh explanation of these technologies refer… -
Re: Stanford University if offering two free classes on Crypto!
You're welcome everyone! I just joined the class too, albeit 2 days late but I'm in there. COURSERA is such a wonderful resource, the opportunity to ask a crypto prof any question you might have, even to clarify something you thought you already knew is of immense value. I learned a lot from previous classes. Since there… -
Re: Assistance with picking the right answer after luring down to the 2 possible answers
No one can help you, but you. If you could narrow it down to 2 choices but can't figure out the rest, you aren't getting the concepts right. Learn the material by heart. Like, if I wake you up at 3:00 in the morning and ask you, "what layer does Telnet work on", it should take you about 2 seconds to reply. I've been trying… -
Re: Phone interview for my ideal job next week
Ditch Kali Linux. It is really overrated. Most professionals I see use a similar distro but has a cleaner appearance. Give BackBox Linux a shot in a VM or as your host OS. Home | BackBox Linux Congrats on the job offer btw! Security+ will be a good starting cert. Then consider moving towards CISSP. Best book and most…
