Re: Lost in the sea of certs
Hey there! I feel the most important thing you should do, is to take one or two days off and just really reflect and get a feel of what you want to do. Do you want to move on to doing pentesting and breaking into devices/sites/networks? CEH, eJPT, OSCP, GPEN Do you want to move on to something managerial after your current… -
Maintaining Various Certifications (CE's + Fees)
Hello TE, The purpose of this thread is to have a discussion about maintaining various certifications such as CE's and yearly membership fees. I have been so focused on what cert to get next... that I completely forgot about the long-term "consequences" of maintaining these certifications in terms of TIME to obtain CE's… -
Re: Close but no cigar 698
Sorry about your close call. I am taking the exam next week, and I dread coming so close and not making it. I have been taking the studiscope exams and passing, but not be a very wide margin. Let me know how you do on them, and how closely you think they resemble the real experience. I took a lot of ccure questions, but I… -
Re: Post CISSP advice
I don't think that's the reailty of the real infosec world. I would always recommend CISSP first, then GIAC/SANS. I agree with LarryDaMan that GIAC/SANS have great training material but no hiring manager that I know of primarily asks for these certs. We do recognize the value of them but the industry perfers ISC2 and… -
Re: CISSP - Real Value
You've hit the nail on the head. It is expected now that you hold the CISSP. That's what I'm saying - that holding the CISSP doesn't really set you aside from the crowd because so many people already hold it It feels like MCSE all over again. It's like an entry level cert from what I see. So that leaves experience or other… -
Re: Student Experiences at Western Governors University (WGU)
lol, did not know you posted here when I found that. :o You made decent points, which is why I posted it, had you been some overly negative whack job, I wouldnt have bothered. My... concern with WGU is similar, The MTA, Project management, and web certs I consider either worthless or unnecessary. The web ones honestly are… -
Re: CGEIT here we come!!
I am setting the foundation to move to next level in my career. I seriously do not enjoy reading the QA&E manual. These questions have to be some the worst cases of run-on sentences and/or poorly worded sentences that I have ever encountered since I was born!! I have to force myself to not correct the issues while I am… -
Re: Need Advice
Well to be frank we are in the same situation, baring off some points. I am also a Masters student in information technology. I started off with CCNA, Security+ whicih helped me to get an internship with a big wire less industry. Try getting certifications which no doubt increases ur knowledge but also looks good on ur… -
Re: Recieved my Psycho-analysis email!!
Failing to meet an SLA by a small margin is one thing. This is not a slight delay. And this is a failure to meet deadlines that have been repeatedly extended. Are you really surprised that we suspect a lack of oversight and assurance and management controls on ISC2's part? I appreciate your engaging with us and I believe… -
Re: Does SSCP have value?
Go with the CISSP, not the SSCP. I work in a Fortune 500 Bank. If you want to play in the "major leagues", you have to have a major league certification. I am not a manager, but I've been in the Information Security field for several years (I have over 12 years experience in IT altogether). The SSCP is good for a more…
