Re: Value of Security+ (Passed Net+ recently)
Congrats on your Net+ pass. Sec+ is specialized being that if you want to go into network security, you could take the Sec+ and go that route. It depends what you want to do in 'networking', ie: Network Security, Penetration Testing, Routing and Switching implementation and design - which you can go for your CCENT,… -
Re: Security+ (401) Training Resources <CompTIA Certmaster?>
That's what I got. I wouldn't have gotten Certmaster without the discounted rate with the 2nd shot. I have Security+ from when it was out in it's first version, but thought I should review and retake to prepare for CASP, CISSP, etc. I had hoped to take it this weekend, but the testing center appears closed on Saturday.… -
Re: Darril Gibson SSCP book too easy?
Try to use the official SSCP guide as well as a reference. I used both, but ended up relying much more in DG's guide. It's an easier read and it covers pretty much the same material. Still I found the real exam questions to be a little bit harder than the end of chapter tests. I did a review a while ago of both sources,… -
Re: Do you guys want the review?
Aye. The website is a little confusing, I submitted some suggestions to Sondra, and she liked them, but can't say when they may be implemented. Each cert has its own course, QEH, QSA/PTL, QFE, QND in that order (suggested). If you complete the whole series, then you are a Q/ISP (Information Security Professional). Of… -
Re: Calling all Remote workers
THIS. I used the fact that I worked from home to wake up at the time I would normally have if I were commuting (1.5 hours early) and studied. I ended up knocking out my BSBA, CISSP, and ITIL F that way. And as far as pros/cons, Christian nailed them. I worked from home full-time for 5 years for one of the nations largest… -
Re: Advice: what after SSCP with my background?
Sounds like you want to get into managed security i.e. (IDS/IPS, firewalls, incident handling, etc).... Below are some of the certifications my colleagues on the managed security team have. Typical Managed Security Certifications and Other Credentials: McAfee Certifications (Because the company I work for deploys McAfee… -
Re: Too many choices...
Nothing too fancy, just a bunch of DVD's in a leather case with TestOut stamped on the lower corner of the case. It's a good bargain overall I think, they almost make it so if you desire more than one package that you're best off buying the whole thing. The big downside to that is it's very easy to get a bit interested in… -
Re: Cism september 2013
I sat for the CISM exam in Singapore on 7th September. Used the following materials: 1) ISACA CISM Official Prep 2013 Edition 2) ISACA CISM Official Q&A Database (Download) - 2013 Edition 3) Some references from the CISA and CISSP books (of little help, really) Overall, it was a tough exam, I took 3 hours and 30 minutes… -
Re: Question about the MCSA: Security cert
Rob, don't you still need an elective above? Or does the 299 count as that. If you decide to go MCSE:S, you need the above plus the 293,294, and 298 (298 is 99% the same info as the 299). You also then need a second security certification (I'm using Security+) EDIT: Reading the MS page says this. Client (1 required) 270,… -
Re: Apple certs? Useful?
Comment by azjag · · Home› Certification Preparation› Other Certifications› Apple Mac OS X CertificationsI think having Mac OS support knowledge can only help you in the long run. Especially since it is a gui version of Unix. I read through a couple of chapters in the Mac OS X Support Essentials book. Mostly CLI stuff with some GUI support info. It helps to have exposure to more than one OS. Edit: Sooner or later I will…
