Re: Compare MCSE vs. CISSP
That would be very hard to do, and that's why there are vendor specific security certifications and training for vendor specific implementations. And even when you look at Cisco security stuff (for example the CCSP which I just finished), they still touch slightly on concept before you actually start learning how to… -
Re: SSCP/CISSP/Security+/blah Which One??!!
Security+ is the place to start. It won't do much on it's own, but it provides a general overview of security. You need one year of full-time security work for the SSCP and five for the CISSP (you can drop up to two years with other education and certs). What type of consulting do you want to do. There are many other… -
Re: Need an inside opinion
You already said the key words "no Knolowdge in IT". While experince does play a big part. The certs get you phone calls. A lot of companies don't know how to weed people out, so they use things like certs to do that to lower the numbers of people they call in for interviews and things of that nature. If you are planning… -
Re: I am one PPPositively happy CHAPpy
Congratulations!! Both the CCVP and CCSP Forum FAQs have the "CCxP before CCNP" sections. If you have an opportunity at work in X (where X equals Voice or Security) at your current job -- and it's something you think you'd want to do or get into -- then you can "skip" the CCNP for now, and "back-fill" later. The CCNP… -
Re: What is your reason for pursuing certifications?
Although i could only chose one, i would have picked three options listed above. I would have choose: 1. Passion for a vendor. 2. Goals in life 5-10 yrs 3. Education 1. I like and will stick with cisco certification. Any other brands will come from work related experience and my exposure to those other vendors, but it will… -
Re: Failed IPS
Thanks guys. I'm not really too bumbed about it considering the facts, hope I knock it out on the second try. I don't work for Cisco TAC in Costa Rica, but I do have friends that do. And I don't actually work with IPS, it's just the one exam that I am missing for my CCSP (or CCNP Security as I refuse to call it). The only… -
Re: MCSA 2016 to Azure Administrator
What does your IT experience look like? I'm wondering if it might just make more sense for you to go straight to the Azure cert if you already have some sysadmin experience. My opinion is that you should certify yourself for the job you want, not for the job you have. That being said, I would probably rather go for the… -
Re: size of CCNA exam takers every year?
From the Cisco CCNA Certification page:CCNA PrerequisitesNo prerequisites The only thing Cisco says about "How many certified people does Cisco have in each Certification Track?" is on the Cisco Certification Support SiteCisco is proud to announce that we currently have over 600,000 certified individuals in our growing… -
Re: what exactly is ccda
I was just looking at the CCDP as its only one extra exam and looks intresting if nothing else. Plus having only worked on one large network its always nice to be able to see other peoples ideas for how it "should be done". But I would also have to get the CCDA first, I was just wondeing what people who have them think of… -
Re: How do stay motivated to study?
I remember my parents getting all excited when I passed my A+ tests many moons ago, they seemed to think I was the be-all end-all to IT. They had no idea what path lay ahead. After A+ came CNA for Netware 4.11, upgraded to 5.0, then got Net+. Passed 70-210 and 70-270 and started working towards 290/291. Maybe complete the…
