Re: C|EH or C|HFI, I want both. Which one first?
After reading the wonderful post by keatron, referred to me by shednik, I think I am going to take my C|EH first and then take the C|HFI. Also, I talked with a Sr. Security Engineer, he brought up a good point...People tend to be looking for C|EH's more than C|HFI's right now. Although I am currently employed, having the… -
Re: IT Folks: What is your daily "wake up" drink of choice?
Nowadays it's 28oz of ice cold water. Surge was discontinued by the time I started in IT so I was on Rockstar (white can) for a few years, then around 2008 I switched permanently to Monster Lo-Carb (blue M logo). I would honestly drink the stuff if they made a caffeine free version because it tastes like liquid candy. I… -

Re: CIW Certs
I have actually worked with State Educational Bodies who require CIW certifications. That being said that is all that I have seen that require them.

Re: no respect for certs

Then during the interview, my future boss had to refer to his email for something and complained about their spam problem. I asked to look at their spam filter (GWAVA/Novell) and found that they weren't… -
Re: CEH
The experience requirement only applies if you are pursuing the self study method. It is listed as "2 years security related work experience" which is not as stringent as the CISSP requirements, but is still required for the self-study method.

Re: Masters worth it???
If you already have an undergrad degree, and your resume is suffering from "cert bloat," a Masters degree is an excellent way to let an additional "leg up" on your employment competition. My Masters in Information Security gives me more cred than having a CISSP in most InfoSec situations--and it should because it was much… -

You meet the requirement to apply for certification: How to Become CISA Certified They ask for a total of 5 years of professional experience, but you can waive up to 3 years of audit experience based on your schooling and any previous non IS-audit experience. Working at one of the big 4 I imagine you have at least a… -
Re: What next?
He just passed the CISSP! That takes you out of the hand-holding stage in my book :D Um, it's got material that's good for beginners, and I'd say it goes into the intermediate or intermediate-advanced ranges. I'm not going to say it's 100% what you're looking for, but it's a fantastic reference, has numerous examples for…
