Re: CCENT or Security+ Next?
Based on your desires, it makes more sense to go for CCNA, CCNP, ... etc. It only makes sense to go for the Security+ if you're going for a job that requires it (such as DoD, as previously mentioned.) In my case, I didn't get Security+ until I needed it for a job. (I have advised people to get the CompTIA triad in the… -

Re: SSCP difficulty for CCNA: Security and Security+ certified?
Thanks for your advice, much appreciated! I've been going through the Gibson and AIO textbooks for the SSCP and have noticed that it seems even less of a challenge than the Security+ (SYO-401, not 301). Given the miniscule cost of the CISSP examination compared to an equivalent vendor-specific exam (CCIE Security lab exam,… -

"Train people" works if you're looking for entry level, introducing a new technology or you have people to take care of your immediate complex projects. However, it doesn't work when a company has a host of complex projects piling up and no senior-level person to take care of them. As I stated in my original post, a… -

You've got a front row ticket and backstage pass to instructors, materials, company-sponsored events and contacts industry-wide and you can network professionally with many… -
Re: Cyber security field has 0% unemployement
The company I work for now started a huge initiative last year toward automation with tools like Ansible, Puppet, and other Dev Ops tools. Learning of this my first week on the job, helped me to see the handwriting on the wall. As a result, I dove in and learned Ansible, and became familiar with using GIT repo tools.… -
Re: Un-qualified Network Academy Instructor?
There is no requirement for how much the instructor has to score in order to teach. He just has to complete the course in the instructor role. I know people who are instructors who basically got low scores or failed the module exams/skills, memorized test prep and are teaching today. As Turgon said, it's the IT industry. I… -

Everything starting off "manage and monitor" is something to improve ... has to be diversified. The experience that you list looks pretty… -
Re: Any Veterans using their GI Bill at WGU?
