Norwich University - BS in Cyber Security --> MS ISA Comparison
I am opening this thread to give a comparison of the two programs and a running update of the MSISA as I am about to start the MSISA program in December. I suspect there will be some overlap between the two programs, with the MSISA diving much deeper into the subject areas. Background: I currently work in the cybersecurity… -
Am I going down the right path?
Hey all. I know this will get long so I apologize in advance. PLEASE READ THROUGH IT. I could REALLY use some help 27 year old, former Comp Sci student and IT lover, planning to go into IT and make a career out of it. I have very little experience in IT(the little I have was nearly a decade ago). I did do a tech support… -
Re: Direct CISSP or CompTIA Security+ and then CISSP
I'd love to hear what about IT security is interesting you? That's a big part of this. What's making you fall in love with IT sec? You might want to consider focusing on more proven vendors to build your base out a little more. Cisco and Microsoft and Linux all the way. CCNA is a okay start, but really won't make you… -
Re: CISSP: When to certify?
For the C|EH and pentesting into; Get yourself a copy of Virtual PC or VMware. Load a couple of Server OS's and maybe an XP or 2. The load at least one Linux distro (doesn't matter which one). Next, come here and ask questions about exploits, vulnearbilites, etc. Do some security research and find out how to carry out some… -
Re: Balancing Certifications & Revisions
@docrice I second you that these days, a day just don't have enough hours. There're too many subjects & books to pick up & go over again.

Re: Please Help! - Schooling/Careers
40K for an associate's degree? Yikes. I need to start my own for profit tech college if they are pulling in that kind of tuition! I'm sort of where you are trying to get (full time employment in computer security), though my job is more aligned with risk management frameworks and auditing and much less aligned with… -
Hello All - Just wanted to drop by and say hi to everyone!
Hello Techexams family. Just wanted to drop by and say hello and maybe encourage some of you who are just coming into this field.

Re: In junior year - will Associate of ISC2 help?
Vulnerability assessments or penetration test or risk assessments? Are you trying to do Ca and A work or technical work (or both)? You really need to be specific. Like for me I know I want to manage IDS/IPS, Firewalls, Routers, Switches, WAPs and concenrtators. Linux servers and (sigh) Windows servers are also apart of my… -
Re: Should I take the CISSP Exam?
Make sure the money is not the only reason. You can't be great in IT Security unless you truly enjoy it. Things change almost daily (latest exploits and vulnearbilites, etc), so you have to be able to commit to constant reading and knowledge enhancements. I hear people complain about reading 2 to 4 hours per day preparing…
