Re: Want to get into InfoSec, Looking for advice...
There are several niches in InfoSec, so before you head down a cert path, it might be worth it to determine what sort of work you're really interested in and then pursue that cert... To start, there's - audit/compliance (ISACA's CISA is a good cert here) - DFIR (several certs available, the SANS offerings being among the… -
Re: IT Career Without College?
Been in the IT field for 19 years, (last 6 in InfoSec), started as a help desk agent and now a Senior Threat Intelligence Analyst (Sr InfoSec Analyst) making 6 figures without a degree ( now working on it as of mid 2016. Of course I have an alphabet soup of certifications. You can do well in IT/InfoSec (Forensics would… -
Re: The next step?
@RobTracy; SSCP would be more marketable and realistic for the time being. Security is much more hands on than just a mid to senior level security certification though many if not too many try this approach and... well it doesn't end well. ISC(2) instituted the five years of experience requirement for a reason and again it… -
Re: CISA/CISM Time!
I may be wrong about the sample/research questions, but I know that is true for CISSP. I have been thinking about this waiting on the scores to be released and I found a comment on a blog dated June 17, 2011 that appears to have been written by an ISACA employee (or at least their perspective.) from IT Audit and… -
Passed CCSP
Took the Infosec Institute boot camp, funded by my employer. They give two shots at the exam, but they have some stipulations. You must test at your earliest opportunity to qualify for the second try if needed. I read the following books as well: [h=1]CCSP Certified Cloud Security Professional Practice Exams[/h][h=1]CCSP… -
Re: Is mile2 known IT sec field?
I just had a look at that "FBI CYBER BACKGROUNDS CHART" PDF and I an perplexed by some of the certification rankings. The certs appear to be ranked from highest (Tier 1) to lowest (Tier 3) level certs. That I get. However: * CEH and CHFI are Tier 1 certs, while CCIE, CWNE, and Security+ are only Tier 2 certs. (CCIE, CWNE… -

Passed CGEIT
Provisionally passed CGEIT - need to wait the usual 10 working days for validation, official confirmation and obviously certification application after that before using the title. So, feedback - 150 questions, 4 hours, pass mark on scaled scoring from 200-800 with pass mark > 450. Exam was reasonably straightforward (more… -
Re: Cism
Hi there - If you go to ISACA's website they have either the database of questions (which seems to be what you have) or the book - same questions just in book format so you dont need to get. What I did was I went through the book - understood why the answer was the actual answer and took notes on stuff I did not know. Once… -
Re: Just passed CEH and eyeing Sec+. Suggestions?
@=renacido Sec+ might be the most common, but what matters is what is asked for in the roles you are looking at. For example, most jobs asking for CISSP won't care about Security+. I am seeing GIAC mentioned more in Info Sec, alongside CISSP. CHFI occasionally. Alongside CEH, I see maybe the other Penetration Tester…
