Re: C|EH v6 Security Experts or Monkeys with Tool Exposure
When I did my bootcamps, we had people who had zero - absolutely NO experience w/security even IT as a whole taking the bootcamps followed by the exam. Waiver? Bootcamp provider... In my entire class, there were about 10 of us... Solely ONE person had a little experience because he was a CCE and he didn't care about the… -
Elder of ISC2 and Certification Endorsement Committee for CISSP
You must be wondering why it took awfully long eight ( weeks to be endorsed by ISC2 endorsement committee. This story will uncover the reasons behind this. In the end, you will appreciate the hard work done by this committee. In a room filled with CISSP endorsement application and CV that accompanied them, a lonely man is… -
Re: Career Path Advice??
The bulk of resume I came across for applicants applying for it security jobs are neither it security experince or certified. This is a good sign for you if you can get some certification that gives you over the edge of others. However, a single it security certification is nearly useless, even having cissp alone may not… -
Re: Reward for getting CISSP
I don't have full blown CISSP and won't for several years. (perpetual associate) However i'm salivating at all these new jobs that say CISSP require which I will hopefully be able to apply to one day. In the mean time I find that just being able to say "Associate of (ISC)2 toward CISSP" (which is the official designation… -
Re: Thoughts and ideas please
Depends if you are into compliance or technical? Both compliance and technical has it own equal amount of depth to branch into. For compliance I would suggest the ISACA certs, CRISC or CISA are the two next certs people usually go for, and finish with CISM in the last. Depending on work areas, ITIL, PMP will help. GIAC… -
Re: SANS challengers group
First apologies to blackrouter for somewhat hijacking his thread. It's not meant to be a slam or anything, just an observation. But I think a relevant observation. I'm in front of 20-50 new people almost every week, from various industries and various parts of the country. Even in the DC area at federal contractors I don't… -
Re: CISSP for non-IT professionals
You would think that large law firms who hold the proprietary and potentially damaging information about their clients would be among the most secure in the industry. Nothing could be FURTHER from the truth, and I am speaking from my OWN experience on the matter. The larger firms are starting to get hit by APT's and… -
Re: Security+ SY0-401 exam
At Darrill Gibson's suggestion, I went right to work studying for the SSCP exam. I was going to start on CISSP, but then I looked at the SSCP exam objectives. SSCP is a kind of in-between certification. It covers a lot of aspects of both Security+ and CISSP, and I felt it would benefit me to earn it first. Also, I don't… -
Re: CompTIA or Cisco
You seem to have a good plan there. You have a moderately focused mid-career goal and you are taking the proper steps to get there. Off the cuff, I would expect you to spend more than a few years as a security professional before taking on the project management role, but that might just be the way my organization does… -
Re: Why did you take the CISSP?
Here goes. Driving Force: Had heard of CISSP years ago when the exam was paper based. Decided against it due to all the horror stories and the fact that more than half the chapters in Shon Harris AIO were foreign to me. Was doing programming of internal business apps at that time. Later changed job to one that involves web…
