This looks like an excellent certification. I've got a couple of thoughts that might be useful:
- Should "022.2 Web Encryption" be "022.2 Website Encryption" (to differentiate it from the "024 Network and Service Security" domain)? - Should we include a discussion of payment processing? I know this cert isn't focused primarily on professional admins who might be running e-commerce sites, but all of us *make* payments. Perhaps it could be incorporated into "025.1 Identity" and include a discussion of the differences between in-house payment systems and third-party (i.e., PayPal) systems. - Since this is meant to be a way to ease users more deeply into administration, should there be at least an awareness of areas like penetration testing, OSINT gathering, vulnerability scanning, and intrusion protection? They could perhaps be incorporated into "024.1 Local Network Access Security" and "024.2 Internet Security". - Similarly, we could add awareness of authentication solutions like FreeRADIUS, LDAP, and AD. - I would suggest that "OWASP", "NIST", "SCAP", and the "National Vulnerability Database" would be good terms to add to the list of used files, terms... in 021.2.
