Re: CompTIA/CASP
That's pretty much the kicker right there, the exam is new and not highly sought after the moment...and it costs over $300. (discount, I know...but still it's pricey) I have passed the CISSP, so until (if?) the CASP gains some respect in the industry, and really among the HR types that screen resumes, it's hard to justify… -
Re: CompTIA/CASP
Dunno. A CISSP costs $600. Is a six-hour written exam with 250 questions. Personally, except for the 8570 push for it, I think it's a worthless exam, but it still has a perception of value and reverance in the IT community. I'm not sure what CompTIA can do to raise awareness and change the attitude about CASP. But at the… -
Re: CompTIA/CASP
Let's look at the first quote... "The target participant" means that they would prefer that someone has that experience, but I didn't read anywhere in those quotes that it's a requirement to take the Beta, much unlike the CISSP. I don't think CompTIA is going to be a stickler on that. If you aren't a target participant,… -

A lot of policy and procedures, the "best" answer out of the choices, and, to my surprise, even networking scenarios and simulations. Unlike grauwulf, I left feeling as… -
Re: CompTIA/CASP
They're trying to compete with CISSP. CISSP requires 5 years of specific security experience. I don't think it will take that long to be recognised because it's CompTIA. They're already recognised for their other certs. Do you people really think that every cert out there should be for people with no IT experience to take… -
Re: CompTIA/CASP
So I took the exam today. I managed to pass (not sure how or what score). I got 15 questions out of 73 wrong. I think I could've done a lot better if I had some sort of study material like a book or videos. There were concepts like securing a web server, database server, the CASP methodoly for defense in depth and network… -
Re: CompTIA/CASP
I went into the exam totally cold and got quite a doozy, especially in comparison to other CompTIA offerings. Overall I was very impressed with this exam. Thoughts: Based on my set of questions; I think that this exam is a pretty good gauge of your abilities to function as a well rounded security professional. Without…
