Re: DoD Contracting Opportunities
this is a good summary, to get past the HR machines with these contractors you need Sec+ a minimum but ideally you have your CISSP(or CASP) + CEH and that well cover your IAM/IAT/CND role qualification for most contracts. as far as tools go ACAS is the gold standard for now... you'll be quite valuable if you know how to… -
Re: Listing that im studying for my test on resume
I view it as a negative. Your intentions may be honest but there is no way for the recruiter to know just by looking at the resume. If the credential is listed anywhere on your resume it should be because you have it. Around here there are threads where we have seen folks with a whole slew of "pending" certs on a resume.… -
Re: I.T Security Career Path?
A lot of infosec job listings I've seen look very uninteresting and not very technical like monitoring and documenting. Pro-active defense really interests me and crypto is fascinating but haven't seen many of these. Everyone I've seen and often apply for are looking for systems or network experience. I'd take Robert's… -
Re: CompTIA trifecta completed today, what's next?
I'll be completing my trifecta later this month. I've just decided to take CCNA courses starting next year. I want to get at least my CCENT by mid-year. Also depending how extensive this course is, I really want to do a Microsoft Exam, not sure which one yet tho. I thought about doing CISSP but that will have to hold til… -
Re: Newbie looking for career advice
Security is and will be a big deal. However, don't expect a security job without experience. You'll do a few years at the bottom like the rest of us in either a help desk or network technician role. After you've spent some time there you might be lucky enough to land a security gig. However you'll need some certs such as… -
Re: 640-544 Books
I'm looking through the CCNA Security FLG on Safari and it really is more in detailed. The first chapter goes over the importance of security as it relates to businesses, the government, etc. For her references, she uses the Harris CISSP book, Hacking Exposed, NIST references and several web resources. Again, a lot… -
Re: Reston 5/6/2012
I took the test 5/6/12 so I wasn't expecting my results until Friday at the earliest. But low and behold, the email arrived around 4:30PM today with the words "Congratulations! We are pleased to inform you that you've passed the CISSP exam." Funny thing was, I didn't see it until around midnight while I was out walking my… -
Re: Passed CASP today
Bad news... Since I took the A+, Network+, and Security Plus before 2011 and I didn't enroll in the CE program in 2012, I would have to retake all these tests individually before enrolling in the CE Program for each of them. From now on, I'm paying attention to fees and changes in policy. I've been in the field for over a… -
Re: Penetration testing Roadmap
Looking at going down the PenTesting route and stuggling to comprehend the various certs available and routes that are possible. I'm thinking of following something along the lines of this, and was wandering if someone in the know wouldn;t mind chiming in and nudging me in the right direction. Currenly studying for the… -
Re: Sick of WGU. Withdraw?
- I am just afraid that I'll only come out with knowledge I could have easily learned from a $50 book. I really want to go to the next level with my education, really challenge myself, but hearing the reviews of the MSISA program on this site further cements my decision to go elsewhere. @auxiliarypriest I don't believe you…
