Time for a new certification
Don Parker, 2007-05-01

I wrote a column for Securityfocus some time ago that aired my concerns over GIAC dropping the practical portion of their certification process. That column resulted in a lot of feedback, with most agreeing about how GIAC bungled what was up till then, the best certification around.

Mr. Parker, since when did any knowledgable manager hire senior personnel based strictly on the basis of certifications on a resume? Entry level personnel are exactly that. Certifications can help establish that an individual has certian baseline knowledge but only job performance becomes a true measure. I agree with Mr Remes that certifications are or should be a measure personal acheivement. Even Masters degrees and PHD's don't ensure a person can perform on the job. They are however, a measure of personal acheivement and an indication that the pereson who holds the degree strives to be successful.
