security+ - does that seem right?

Ok, I am looking at the MCSE security requirements. Why Security+ but not
CISSP? That doesn't seem to make sense to me. Anyone know the logic behind
it?

Thanks,

Matt

 

Matt Pardo piffled away vaguely:

Maybe because someone who's got an CISSP doesn't go back and get an
MCSE. That would be illogical.

How would that be illogical?

 

every cissp i know is a complete idiot when it comes to ms products. come to
think of it, they are just idiots. the whole security consultant gig is a
big scam

 

Yeah right......sour grapes et al....

 

Matt Pardo piffled away vaguely:

The CISSP is an real elite certification, properly protected. The MCSE
and Security+ are not. They are not remotely in the same league and
they don't use the same system. A CISSP does not need an MCSE. It's
like graduating from college and then going to kindergarten.

So basically, if you're planning on teaching at Kindergarten, you need to
get your CISSP first, then get your MCSE?

not at all

 

I have no idea where some people get their information but much posted here
is simply wrong. I got my MCSE several years ago and the MCSE:Security as
soon as it was available. I got the CISSP mid 2006. The certs are
completely unrelated. MCSE shows you know what you're doing with Microsoft
products. The CISSP has absolutely nothing to do with Microsoft products
but rather security policy, encryption, disaster recovery, physical
security, access control, legal and regulatory issues, telecomm, etc. Not
one word about networking or Windows.

You're thinking of "hoe".

 

sure, but I can call my homeboys whatever I want. I call them geeks
(though outside of IT that appearently is a derogitory term).

"How about a giant hoe?"

"Since we're a farming community it could be a dirty hoe"

hoe in the middle of town!"

Compared to the Neil of yore, this one isn't even visible.

But then neither are any of us.
