Hi list, have any of you obtained $SUBJ certifications already? I saw objectives and sample questions and it looks like pretty easy. Is it usefull to have it or not? Thanks, Michal -- Michal Merta Network Security Engineer http://www.misuta.cz
By reading your signature "network security engineer" I say its absolutely useless to pay around 400$ for those foundation exams. Nobody will give you a job as engineer because of CompTIA certifications. I took the Linux+ beta exam (disclaimer I work in UNIX/Linux environment) and there were so silly simple questions. Mostly desktop oriented. Additionally I took the Security+ exam (disclaimer I don't work in security field) and it was not very complicated. If you know a little bit PKI (for example Open SSH) and some other foundation stuff it is very easy to pass. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- This list is sponsored by: Norwich University EARN A MASTER OF SCIENCE IN INFORMATION ASSURANCE - ONLINEThe NSA has designated Norwich University a center of Academic Excellence in Information Security.
