I am still seeing "Security Companies" asking for MCSE, which to me
speaks volumes about that security company.
I am starting to see some ask for valid certs, like GIAC, CISA, and
CISSP.
To the security engineers out their- contact your HR department and see
if they are asking for MCSE certification for their security engineers,
if so that's probably why your company can't get any real engineers.

Subject: Re: certifications
Why not..
I was wondering this myself last evening after talking with some folks
who
handed me their business cards with about 6 to 7 acronyms after their
name. After pocketing each card. I wondered was earning a
certification
worth it. Does it make one more palatable to employers or does it
totally
put a company off when they hire someone with some many credentials,
that
two business cards may not say it all.
Ya ya
I am still waiting to be handed a card that says: "XYZZY".. and that's
it..

companies and organizations that provide certification programs.
I know about SANS, ISC2 (CISSP/SSCP), Microsoft, and Cisco. I was
looking more to non-product certifications. Can anyone give me any
URLs or info about individual security certification programs? Does
IEEE, ACM, USENIX, or any other such organization provide them?
thanks.
