]]> Comment on Should I renew my CISSP? by Andy B. http://www.infosecpodcast.com/2007/07/should-i-renew-my-cissp/comment-page-1/#comment-28818 Andy B. Tue, 03 Aug 2010 06:55:41 +0000 http://www.infosecpodcast.com/education/2007/07/should-i-renew-my-cissp/#comment-28818 I never used to give any cert much value until 2002-2003 when work became very hard to find. Since I had time on my hands I decided to sit for the exam. After gaining the CISSP cert I republished my resume and BAM there was interest in my skills immediately from prospective employers. It seems as though resume scanning software that looks for buzzwords /does/ pick out "CISSP". In addition, many .gov Agencies are requiring that their network/host/application security people have some form of cert. Given the current economy where the private sector is weak but the jobs demand in the public sector is strong, it makes sense to get and keep your CISSP cert.

]]> Comment on How-to on securing PDF documents by Andrew Yeomans http://www.infosecpodcast.com/2009/12/how-to-on-securing-pdf-documents/comment-page-1/#comment-28816 Andrew Yeomans Sun, 25 Jul 2010 03:44:08 +0000 http://www.infosecpodcast.com/?p=205#comment-28816 Fully securing PDFs is a bit harder than that. Those instructions only stop someone editing the document with *Adobe* software. But there are freely available alternatives that don't honour Adobe's "no edit" honesty bit. Any software that lets you view the document (with read password if necessary) has the potential ability to make a copy that can be edited. The certification options should be OK. It should be a simple matter of programming to create a wrapper for Acrobat Reader, bound to your email client's "PDF" handler, probably using such alternatives to check the certificate.

If you are working a job that does not require the CISSP certification--- it is okay find one that cares if you are certified!!! The important this in that you have the knowledge. When ones driver's license expires, that person still knows how to drive. I think that your should look for a job that gives a damn if you are certified or not. The US Goverment Department of Defense(DoD) requires the CISSP for its level three category IT Managers. The US Army and other departments in DoD,(example: NSA) and also cooperate America needs you CISSP Certified so belive that. You are a IT Pro, so enough of playing in the minor leagues! I am studying now for my CISM and/or CISSP and I value that certification more than my Masters in IT Management. The reason why is because one has to stay current with the IT knowledge and continue to learn as new technoloy continues to develop. My Masters was in 2002, and nobody has asked be about it since I got a job but I needed one to get the job I have now. SO!! Save the dialog and write the check, and turn in your credits. Be proud that your CISSP Cert it is one of the hardest certs to get. PeaceOut!!! I feel that you should renew your certification immediately.
