In my opinion, it all starts with TCP/IP. From here, it depends on what aspect of security you want to be involved in. If you want to be vendor specific, then get to know their products. the CISSP is more a security management certification. With just a CISSP, one will not know how to control a virus outbreak on a network. Please don't misunderstand me. I am a CISSP, and in no way am I knocking it. I come across way to many ambitious graduates wanting to get into security, but they don't even know how to work out what a 28 bit subnet is !! I've done the SANS GCIA course and one still needs to know TCP/IP fairly well before attending the course. So, a good place to start is know the transport hackers will use to get into your network - TCP/IP, social engineering , etc. My two cents worth Jude ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sarbjit Singh Gill" <ssgill () gilltechnologies com> To: <security-basics () securityfocus com> Sent: Wednesday, August 18, 2004 5:29 PM Subject: What do you folks think about EC-Council
I recently had the opportunity to sit into a presentation from the
Technical
Director of EC-Council. I somehow did not hear EC-Council being mentioned in security-focus forums when there is a question about what certification should one be doing when making a move into the security field. So what is the response about EC-Council. Is the CEH (Certified Ethical Hacker) a good place to start compared to SANS, Security+ or even CISSP.
