What do you say about an Associate CISSP (a person who has passed the exam, without 4 or 5 years of experience)? I have around 2 years of experience as a Security Engineer(Appsec/VA/PT). Can I go for Associate CISSP, If not, what certification do you suggest? Nice Post Adriano.

Are you saying as a 23year old graduate in Computer science who wants to start a career in InfoSec, GISF is first? I actually just joined a training that would cover Network Management, RF engineering, Transmission and GSM engineering. Can you tell me how I can relate InfoSec with Networking or how I can relate InfoSec with this training? What are those things I must do to link those trainings with InfoSec certifications?

But as for changing jobs why I am good at what I do and I enjoy my work. As your statement to cost,,,you should look into how many UNIX servers can run on a Z/os system,, with no additional hardware cost.

The whole world is going for PC/Servers and cutting cost and throw in Green IT - vmware etc, perhaps it's time you consider changing jobs?

I am a Z/os Mainframe security analyst/architect and administrator(since 1983) using CA-Top Secret, who has been involved, is all phase of security implementations. On the mainframe we have to know how applications run, what resources are available for use within the application so we can secure them. In general our security knowledge usually requires knowledge of how system software, applications, FTP, encryption certificates (build and allow usage), and UNIX system services interacts with Z/OS system. So I guess my question is what SANS, ISC2, plus IBM and CA have not gotten together to create certifications for these professionals. Regards, This is a bit of a rant, but,
