Hi,
I just saw the Fall 2000 issue of the CSI Journal. There is a lengthy piece
about security certification and certifications in general. I will go
back and see if there is a url for a on-line version

>I've recently found out about a new (I think) set of certifications from
>ICSA that are geared towards network security. Since I work with FW's and
>soon, AntiVirus boxes, it seems like a good idea for me to get these certs.
>However, not wanting to cloud the resume with a useless collection of
>alphabet soup certs, I thought I'd pose this question to the good folks
>that
>participate on this list. Have you heard of these certs and if so, what is
>the general consensus about their worthiness? The information about them
>can be found at the following address
>http://www.trusecure.com/html/secsol/peoplecert01.shtml
>
>In looking them over, they seem pretty solid given the broad spectrum of
>security issues they cover. However, I have experienced that a cert is
>only
>as good as the company that gives it. I know about the Cisco and MS certs
>(Novell too) but they are all companies with a reputation in their
>industry.
> Getting certs from them means you have specific knowledge of their
>products. These ICSA certs are not vendor specific and seem to rest on the
>subject matter they cover rather than the company name. I know that ICSA
>is
>reputable for certifying security products but I hadn't heard about the
>people certs until a few weeks ago.
>
>Mainly what I'd like to know in addition to the question I posed above is,
>would you, a group of network security professionals, give much weight to
>these certs if you saw them on a resume? I look forward to hearing/seeing
>your comments about this. Thanks for your help.
