A New Advanced Security Certification is on the way!

To Security Professionals – Important Request:

In case you did not know, I am a Founding Member of the CompTIA Security+ Cornerstone Committee.  I am writing this blog to ask if you would complete an important survey because of your expertise in information security. CompTIA is developing a new advanced security certification exam to follow CompTIA Security+ (or equivalent experience) and we are seeking your input on the exam objectives. We hope you’ll appreciate how important your input is to the development of this certification, and ultimately to those who follow you in their security careers.  Personally, I am excited by the cutting-edge objective set of the intended certification:  It is up-to-date and pragmatic.  It includes (speak of the devil) objectives related to:

• Security and Social Media
• Virtualized Desktops (VDI)
• Insider Threat
• 802.1x
• Fuzzing
• And a plethora of deep, technical, scary stuff!

To begin this approximately ten-minute survey, please go here:  https://s-xut5m-345723.sgizmo.com
In appreciation for your time and participation, CompTIA is giving away a CompTIA T-shirt to every 10th person who completes the survey.

CompTIA values your privacy. Results are completely anonymous and the data will only be viewed in the aggregate. Please complete by September 8, 2010.
Thank you very much for your participation.

Please contact research_at_comptia.org if you experience any technical difficulties with the survey.

Go ahead:  support the community and get a free T-Shirt!
