Non-specialized Security: Where do I go next?
Good Afternoon TE, So I've been doing a lot of thinking in the last ~19 hours since passing my ISSEP, and although most of that time was spent celebratory-drunk, asleep, or celebratory-hung over, I've really feel like I just crossed the finish line in my security progression. The ISSEP was my big goal; I expected to fail… -

Re: I NEED CLARIFICATION ON MCSA/MCSE: Security Please!!
Thanks RoyalRaven and many thanks to Fly2dw. I just wanted to be sure of the path to follow that's why I seek advice from professionals/people who are experienced in the field. I have taken a course years ago on computer repair/maintenance and basic networking. I have the know of A+ and am familiar with some basic… -
Re: Security certification - where to start?
Good security engineering route depends on what you want to specialize in. I've seen way too many people that memorize nist 800-53, iso 27000, itil, cobit... and claim they are security engineers. These people are not security engineers, they are auditors or security managers. if you are looking to become a well rounded… -
Re: eJPT or eCPPT?
Thank you NetworkNewb and yoba222 for your replies. I haven't made my mind up yet. I don't mind going for the bigger certs. I am fairly top heavy on the blue team side of it with CISSP, CISM, CISA, CASP etc. Not sure I would necessarily call them harder certs though. Unfortunately I only have CEH (which I wouldn't really… -
Re: Vendor neutral certs
I find the comments in this post strange and interesting... Here are my thoughts: 1. If you have you degree in CS than you don't need a MBA, unless you are planning to get OUT of I.T. and enter another area at some point. It is possible that once you become an IT manager, for example, that you may want to go for VP or CEO… -
Re: Where to go from here
Dear friend, in my case cert choices are always based on current and future career shaping & development. I mean never drift too far from your working experience, but steadily steer education towards your desired job perspective in order to qualify for its requirements. Eg. Assume John Doe aged 22 IT Engineer Is Now… -
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:… -
Re: BS in Computer Science then 10 years blank, what now?
If you already have a BS in Computer Science, it wouldn't make sense to get back into school and get a less technical degree. I would say that your biggest obstacle is probably a simple one to fix: Updating your knowledge and making yourself a tad more marketable. Certifications will definitely help with that. I'm not sure… -
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 &…
