Re: Switching to cisco worth the money?
As mentioned above, it depends what you are trying to accomplish. Your situation sounds like your average small business. It is common to have a "built as needed" network that was put together with whatever Best Buy had on the shelf. In general it has worked for many successful businesses.

Re: Bachelor's Degree Advice
Can't say that either. Government hiring decisions, as with all hiring decisions, are made by people. If the hiring manager went to Stanford and so did another candidate, that may well be a major deciding factor. Now it may not be a factor in considering candidates or in official policies on pay, but that doesn't make it a… -
Re: Getting your foot in the security door
@docrice – I enjoyed reading about your experience and how you got to where you are. I’m often interested in the varied paths that a career can take.

It was about as hard as I thought it would be- the hardest IT cert exam I've ever taken. I scored about just under what I was scoring on the… -
Officially Part 107 Certified! (Drone Pilot)
Figured I'd make a separate post to talk about the testing today and preparations one should make if they wish to pursue Part 107 Certification. Part of my course involved the use of remotepilot101.com to aid in study for the Part 107 exam. The course is pretty good and at the very least the instructor makes it as exciting… -

I head up the IT Security function and am a Deputy CISO in my organisation so I appreciate… -
