Re: More changes to the WGU MSISA program?
I would like to see it culminate in taking the CISSP/CISM. I don't think CEH should be included at all - a Master's degree should be more higher-level oriented than technical, and numerous people have criticized the CEH as being antiquated. That said, I do believe one should have a foundation in security tools, but they… -

However some companies have what they call Solutions Achitects, where it is the same thing but with a fancier titles and it is much more design oriented andd customer facing.

Re: Do you allow social media sites
Social media sites are a social engineer's goldmine. Too many people input everything about themselves on them. Not to mention, they are bandwidth intensive. In developed countries that may not be as big deal but here bandwidth costs $600 per Mbps, so companies have to have small pipelines. Social media apps can spread… -
Re: Leaving Federal Contracting for Private Corporation
Just curious why do you say that? I don't really have a comparison since the bulk of my career is in the private sector.

I'm pretty sure that no… -

Re: Thoughts on MicroCertifications?
From my perspectives, these microcerts and nano-degrees are possibly a good inexpensive way for people to get training and exposure to specific narrow areas. I can see the value. However, I can't see them having the same degree (no pun intended) of value on a resume. I don't see myself ever calling out a resume to… -
Re: State of Texas seeks new CISO
I've been told more than once that there's law/policy that caps federal pay (i.e. executive branch career employees, political appointees, and high ranking military officers) at the level of a junior senator. I've never been able to find it in writing, but I've also never spent an appreciable amount of time looking. Given… -
Re: Cyber Security field is getting wild
@mbarrett are you this kids mom? Just kidding But if I hear one more person make the "analytical skills" argument I'm gonna vomit. You don't learn "how to think" from college.
