Also...quite honestly, I don't feel anywhere near ready for CISSP, knowledge or experience wise. I truly am a newcomer to the world of security, and have a ton to learn.
At last. Someone who doesn't think anyone with a week's cramming time to spare can get a CISSP. :) You could take the test without the experience, but you wouldn't qualify for the certification even if you passed, though you could still be an associate in that case, as someone previously pointed out. But then, if you wanted security certification now, there are other certs that don't have the experience requirement, and there's certainly a place for those.
The CISSP is OS independent whereas the M$ muck is only M$specific whichwill hinder your career in Information Security.
I can't say I agree. Microsoft certs and security certs are a good combination for many types of work. There's more to security than Unix and its derivatives, you know, and Microsoft are not a security-free zone. :) -- David Harley CISSP, Small Blue-Green World Security Author/Editor/Consultant/Researcher AVIEN Guide to Malware: http://www.smallblue-greenworld.co.uk/pages/avienguide.html Security Bibliography: http://www.smallblue-greenworld.co.uk/pages/bibliography.html
