Adding Security to the Cert

Adding Security to the Cert
Tim Mullen, 2003-06-09

Shiftless third-party prep courses have made MCSE certification less valuable. Is Microsoft's new security cert doomed to the same fate?

Okay. Fair reply. Then tell me:

1. How many CISSP certified staff work for Microsoft?

2. How many GIAC (GSEC/GCFW/GCIA/GCWN/GCUX/GISO/GSNA) certified staff work for Microsoft?

3. How many CHECK consultants work for Microsoft?

4. What Security Design and Development Methodologies do Microsoft Developers work to?

5. How many vulnerabilities are found in Microsoft products each year?

...I think you're getting the picture.... ;-)
