Subject: Re: MCSE + Security
Thanks a lot for the information. At least I now have a better basis
to judge
whether I should advance with SecSpec.
In any case, I will only have 2 papers to fulfil before I am also SecSpec
certified.
Yes...I wasn't lazy and I did take 219.
So, with SecSpec additional, was it any better or did it
put any of you guys on a better edge when looking for a job?

Actually,you need 220,214,& 227 for a Security Spec. for
W2k MCSE.I hope you weren't lazy and took that 219
thing<BORING for a design test...Benefits? Knowing how to config
ISA servers
to create DMZ's which defeat all kinds of trojans and viruses that
spread via
NetBios.{You do have that disabled don't you?}You also learn about
how
vulnerable all other O/S's are whether their advocates realize/admit
it or not.
If your employer is an idiot,I suggest you not get to carried away
with SecSpec
as you will want to lock down your network properly
afterwards.Anything less than W2k is a Fcking Downclient that belongs
on the
edge of the perimeter or outside of it!
Downclient = Fallguy so you will know that you are under attack.In
the meantime,
unless your attacker has spoofed,you can track his AZZ while he thinks
"he's in"
your network when in reality "he's center screen" for all to see.
Security cost money!On the otherhand,Security saves more money,time,
& headaches than anything else.
Best of to you,

I finished my MCSE 2000 recently. Thinking of advancing and specialising
in
security. However, don't really know of any of my peers with the MCSE
+ Security
certification.
Anyone around here with the certification wana share some of the pains
and
sorrows in taking that? I would appreciate it if you would also be
able to tell me why
the certification kicks ass.
Cheers
Benny
there are no pains & horrors. all you got to do is pass 2 exams
(or 1) on top of
your mcse requ. one is usually a design and the other is an elective.
not the end
of the world. as far as value of the MCSE+S, i think it's too soon
to tell 'cause it's a
fairly new cert.

Hi Folks.
I am one exam away from completing my MCSE. I've been studying to do
the 70-220
exam, but am now considering doing the CompTIA
Security+ exam. How will will affect my cert? Better than MCSE+Security?
More
marketable? Please advise.
Thanks
