Re: I'm battling through a tough decision
PF I would say 3-5 more years from now that will be the plan. My 3 goals that I must accomplish before I attempt this feat however are these 3. [These are just shooting from the hip] 1. A real certification. ITIL Expert, which I am almost there, Six Sigma, or the PMP. One of those 3 I must get. 2. 3 years of strategic… -
Re: Is this Project+ certification worth going for?
when I started studying for the Project+ my boss asked me all the normal questions "what is it?" "how does it pertain to your job?" blah blah blah. After a 10 minute explanation he shook out of the glazed eyed torpor he had drifted into, around minute 2, and simply replied "Oh, it's a mini-PMP. OK you can expense it."… -
Re: salary question
I received your PM. I can tell you this. The organization that you've mentioned is a private company; you might expect lower from a state or county-run facility. I have done work for them at their headquarters (which is not in Houston). Based on what I know of this organization I would concur with the ~50k range. Given… -
Re: Its GO time! Test @ 4pm today. Questions on what to expect.
Ah, no...not a way to really do that without breaking NDA. (or you may visit CompTIA's website and review their FAQ and other notes about the exams) ******* personally, I do not support the use of practice tests as a means to prepare for the exam.

Re: When do certs not help your career?
You make a very good and valid point. However, except for SANS (and in my own research, SANS certs don't have the same level of demand outside of DoD as ISC2 and ISACA), both ISC2 and ISACA certs can require some vetting for experience and background checks. Most SANS certifications, as far as I know, like CompTIA… -
Re: SSCP difficulty for CCNA: Security and Security+ certified?
Thanks for your advice, much appreciated! I've been going through the Gibson and AIO textbooks for the SSCP and have noticed that it seems even less of a challenge than the Security+ (SYO-401, not 301). Given the miniscule cost of the CISSP examination compared to an equivalent vendor-specific exam (CCIE Security lab exam,… -

Re: What do I need to do/have if I want to work in GRC but skip SOC/NOC
My time in IT and Infosec is limited to just some of the domains of ISC2. For example I hardly did any designing/ implementation of security framework, never did any TRA project, never applied principles of NIST HIPPA etc. I also never worked with DLM, UAM, QRadar, Arc sight etc. So limited cyber security experience and… -
