Re: Have you ever paid for a course out of pocket?
Expect eLearnSecurity to have very little traction in pen testing companies, and probably not much in major corporations. I haven't personally taken any of their courses, but if somebody decides to pursue one of their courses they should be doing with the end goal of getting OSCP or GPEN at minimum. You cannot be trying to… -

Currently i am a Project Manager / Product Manager - Consultant for Software Development in my organization. I am 42 married with kids.

Re: What was the last certification exam you took? How did you prepare?
Which resources I use for study depends on the certification. Since 2013 I have achieved credentials from (ISC)2, ISACA, GIAC, ITIL, Scrum, Microsoft, and Cisco. Here were my approaches: GIAC (GDSA, GCCC, GPEN, GCIH, GCIA) - Take week long SANS training which comes with books and labs. I go through all of the material and… -
Re: Any results from 2012 test dates?
Hey everyone, I am new to the site and I just received my CISSP results. I figured I should contribute to the forum since I have been lurking for so many months lol. I PASSED MY CISSP! I took the test in Malaysia in the Mines area on February 25th and just received the results today (March 23rd). Unfortunately they don't… -
Passed SANS GIAC GSTRT - mini review
This is the training that I did: https://www.sans.org/cyber-security-courses/security-strategic-planning-policy-leadership/ and I passed the exam yesterday. It's different than the other SANS training that I did (GCFA/GPEN) as this was not a technical training, the focus is on leadership/strategic management theory, policy… -
Talk me out of the WGU MBA IT Management Program...what should my next steps be?
Well guys, I finished the MS:ISA program at WGU earlier this year. I just passed the CISSP exam earlier this month as well. Five years ago, I had a checklist of Goals for myself, and I have checked off each item in the past five years. Now I'm trying to figure out why my next steps are, and this site has always been… -
WGU MS:ISA Complete! What next? MBA IT Management?
I have completed the MS:ISA program at WGU, and I have been very pleased with my experience at WGU. I was able to transition into a security consulting role after achieving the CEH in 2015, so my degree has already paid for itself (and I've already paid for it without needing to get loans). While I do have my criticisms of… -
Re: Will I get a job with CEH? no expierence?
Again keep in mind of your goal. A CISSP/MBA/CISM at my last job (lead migration technician) told me don't waste time going 100 million miles in 100 billion directions. Take a look at these two different jobs. One is a penetration tester. The other is clearly a network engineer. Penetration Tester jobs - Dice.com (PEN… -
Re: GCIA purchased today
It's a management position. It pays well, but I'm already missing the hands-on, technical tasks. It's also odd to work at a single location exclusively. I got a random text from Paul the other day, "I need to start traveling again. I still feel like I'm just at a really long on-site." I can totally relate. I think the next… -
