dear all in singapore, the government has already created an Association of Information Security Professionals (AISP) and stated that one of its ultimate aim is to create an IT security standard and certification and would require all who wants to practice IT security in singapore to attain that certification. however the government controls the funding to this association and appointed the first executive committee (exco) that abides by the government agenda. only a couple of the member of the were genuine security professionals. there seems to be a trend across all the world to "regulate" and "standardize" IT security and ironically, the people who are setting all these regulations and standards hardly knows anything about IT security. thank you thomas lim COSEINC Michael Painter wrote:

The Rockefeller-Snowe measure would create the Office of the National Cybersecurity Adviser, whose leader would report directly to the president and would coordinate defense efforts across government agencies. It would require the National Institute of Standards and Technology to establish "measurable and auditable cybersecurity standards" that would apply to private companies as well as the government. It also would require licensing and certification of cybersecurity professionals. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/03/31/AR2009033103684_pf.html Respectfully, Dave Kleiman - http://www.ComputerForensicExaminer.com 4371 Northlake Blvd #314 Palm Beach Gardens, FL 33410 561.310.8801 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This list is sponsored by: InfoSec Institute No time or budget for traveling to a training course in this fiscal year?
