Re: Thoughts on the course list for this "Network Security" Diploma?
Well you couldn't have posted here as you have 1 post...not starting out great. 1. Course load is heavily IT based. You wouldn't need the following to get into Security:* CompTIA A+ * MS Windows 10 * Core Solutions of Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 * Sophos & Fortinet Security I and Labs * Internetworking Technology Labs &… -
Re: How much are you paying to maintain your certification status?
I haven't held enough certs that require maintenance for this to be an issue yet. If I do keep the CompTIA ones, I'll probably just be maintaining CASP. The Linux+ and Storage+ won't expire. Probably between the Cisco, MS, VMware and other certs, I'll have more than enough credits. LPIC does expire at 5 years. Probably if… -
Re: OSCP for Carrier Growth: Need Advice
It's fairly easy, you've already got everything you'd need; an internet connection. Do your research on the OSCP, read every possible blogs, certification stories and so on. I did it this way, read all i could, setup up my OSCP environment and registered for PWK at OffSec once i've felt confident with my environment as… -
Re: Goal is to be in InfoSec, not sure what path of Certs to seek
Certs aren't everything, but when people here ask me what certification path to aim for in terms of security or general flow of learning all things security via certs, I recommend CompTIA Network+ (since you need a basic network foundation for many infosec principles) CompTIA Security+ (base starting point) or SANS SEC301:… -
Another CCSP passed story
Hi guys, I just passed my CCSP exam this morning and I thought I would share a bit about my experience. Like others have said before me, knownlege from CISSP helped me create a great foundation for this exam. Also, as I previously prepared for CISA and CISM in June, I felt quite confident answering questions related to… -
Newbie seeking security advice
I've gone through some of the posts here and and learned a lot from the advice given to them. But I feel like my case is unique. I'm Victor from Africa. Been on and off various networking jobs. Have Indepth knowledge in Cisco CCNA & CCNP and Checkpoint CCSA. Also recently started software dev (don't know how this would fit… -
Re: Which certs would you get if they were free and you had time...
You mentioned the 5K cap. Seriously, if I had additional free time, I would work at ISACA, minimally, the CISM. I'd probably attempt a December testing. Heck, for 5K, I could purchase an in-seat bootcamp, but that's months (if not years) down the road at this point. If money was no object, I really wouldn't need any… -
Re: Sugestion for career choice
Welcome to TE, pgchelsea. If you're focused specifically on security, be prepared for what is called a "dynamic" career. That is to say, like most careers in IT, that you are committing to a life long career of learning. Hope you're ready? :) Take the following feedback for what it's worth, and take heart in knowing that… -

Re: Passed CySA+ 4-20-2018
I should have elaborated more - to really pass this test and do well, you need to know Security+/CySA+ material AND have some real world knowledge, especially around vulnerability scanning outcomes. Logs were no issue, but understanding how the true/false positive/negatives look in a scan is a must on the performance…
