Re: ITIL v3 foundation cert
There are a lot of answers to this question. The simple answer, and the reason I have it, is because employers over-value it. This is not to say that it, or the information you will learn, is without worth. Most of the foundation is "ITIL Terminology & Applied Common Sense". I consider it an excellent complimentary… -
Re: other security certs
Welcome! There are many others but for now the Sec+ should be good for you. The next one that comes to mind is the SSCP SSCP Education & Certification which has a 1 year of exp requirement. Anything from Sans is also good SANS: Computer Security Training, Network Security Research, InfoSec Resources (some are a lot… -
Re: Passed SY0-401
Think of Cloud+ as a gateway exam for VM-Ware and CCNA Data Center. Everything is going towards virtualization... so Cloud+ shows you understand some A+, N+ and Server+. It will ask questions that I have seen related to VM-Ware level stuff. So, it can really help you in that direction over-time. I'm saying you get more… -
Re: How does networking mesh with a security career.
I work alongside SOC Engineers, Security Engineers, Ethical Hackers/Forensics ,etc. The whole company is Security focused. They all pretty much have their CCNA/P with security certs (ccna:sec, cissp, giac certs) and proven networking experience. Even the Dev team needs proper networking knowledge to some degree. I see… -
Re: CCIP soon
In September I got a new job in an industry that I have no experience with, doing a job I have never done. My CCIP studies went to the wayside because I had to remediate my knowledge for my current job. I'm a security engineer for a firm that does third party auditing and analysis for the financial industry. I do pen… -
Re: WGU Student Roll Call
Will do. I spoke to the enrollment counselor yesterday about starting the program. Since my term ends on December 31 I was asked to submit the required paperwork in October. Right now my MS:ISA track is set to begin January 1, 2010. Just a quick note: I asked about the NSA accred. status and the enrollment counselor did… -
Re: Oracle Database Administrator
Thanks for the advice. I'm still not sure what I'm going to do yet after Security+ but Oracle is something I will be looking into. I'm wondering how difficult it must be to break into that world. I did some more searching on dice.com and indeed for jobs and found a lot of positions for "senior Oracle DBAs". It's very… -
Re: getting burned out
We all hit that wall. You have to think of it like getting a second wind if you run, or ran as a kid. Just when you thought you couldn't go another step, your body goes into cruise control and you can run till your muscles hurt. Your brain works the same way. You're a bit close to the test date, but I can tell you what… -
Re: Prep Logic "free"
You get a free voucher up to $155 value, which in case of Microsft and Cisco does mean exactly take your exam for free. Concidering the cost of CompTIA's exam prices, CISSP, CEH, it's not so odd they put a limit on the value of the voucher and/or make exceptions for certain exams. Just as common as the offer not being… -
Re: Minor vs. Certifications
Qualify that with what type and level of certification(s). You could probably study really hard and get through any number of certifications that could hurt your job search as well. Mid and later career certifications like the PMP or CISSP with no experience are dead giveaways. CompTIA certifications would be appropriate…
