Re: IT Security Career: Technical Vs Governance/Policy
What it sounds like to me (and I do disagree with a few comments), that you should focus on 'IT Risk Management'. It wont strip you of your thirst for tech, but will give you the governance of policy management that you're looking for with the higher pay ceiling. You might want join ISACA I, like you, am found myself in a… -
Re: Has anyone gone for their masters later in life?
I like you am doing my Masters in Cyber Security, have kids and a career. I'm doing my masters for myself. I don't think it will help my career all that much, potentially more into executive, but who knows. I've worked from home 100% this year, which has actually helped. My masters is 100% online, so that has helped. I… -
Re: What is Ready Enough?
CISPhd: I also really liked the ISACA test engine - the test engine was VERY helpful for both CISA and CISM. I kept it up until I was scoring 95% though.... I found that I DID learn the concepts. If there were questions I was struggling with, I spent additional time reading and reviewing that corresponding section in the… -
Re: SSCP next week, am I ready?
Alfred, congrats on your pass. I felt that memorization (ports, OSI, etc.) helped me along with having a good understanding of each domain. When I studied, I focused on one domain at a time rather than the exam as a whole. I was going to go right into CISSP, since SSCP covers so much of what's in CISSP. However, I started… -
Re: Boost my Resume? Security+ and PMP question
You won't need 5 years experience to get a CISSP, you'll only need 4. One of your BS or the Sec+ will cover the 5th year requirement. Also, while you won't receive endorsement as a full CISSP, you can still take the test and certify as an Associate of ISC2 Toward CISSP. From there, you'd have 6 years to get the required… -
What's after CISA and CISSP?
Hi everyone. I'm currently CISA/CISSP certified. Any thoughts on the most logical next cert(s) to pursue? I have a B.S. in MIS and a B.S. in accounting. After college I've tried a bunch of diff things (IT implementation, internal audit, accounting/fin) before deciding to settle more long-term into IT risk/controls.… -
Re: CISM exam in 1 week!
Try to get busy with something else , I'm having multiple plans at the same time to keep me busy, in 2 months I should be done by CEH self-study. They had the speaker like 1 meter away from my head and I almost had a heart attack every time the proctor says anything. but was all good. I didn't revise any question: for me… -
Re: ISACA Exams Discount
You received a discount offer for $125. I received a CISM discount offer but it was only for $50. I thought that it was a good deal so I took the plunge. I have been studying for CISM for about 6 months after I passed the CRISC exam last year. I just thought that since my brain is still wired to the ISACA mindset, I might… -
Re: Want to get into InfoSec, Looking for advice...
There are several niches in InfoSec, so before you head down a cert path, it might be worth it to determine what sort of work you're really interested in and then pursue that cert... To start, there's - audit/compliance (ISACA's CISA is a good cert here) - DFIR (several certs available, the SANS offerings being among the…
