Vigilar Intense School is now back in business Posted by boss on Tuesday, 22 December 2009 @ 21:10:52 EST (1355 reads) Topic CISSP In the Press
cdupuis writes "UPDATE ON 2/19/2010
Good day to all,
I was just informed by an official source from Infosec Institute that Intense School is now back in full swing. See the message I received below from my good friend Jack Koziol:
Hey Clement, I hope all is well with you.
I wanted to let you know some good news, InfoSec Institute has purchased the assets of Intense School from Vigilar, and most of the Intense School instructors and key employees have signed on to continue the business. Intense School will continue on as its own entity, we have all of the same proprietary courseware and test prep materials and the pool of instructors that makes Intense School great.
We also have the training locations and a schedule built for 2010. We are going to operate Intense School as it always has with a focus on the students and treating the instructors well.
If you can get the word out to anyone affected by this, it would be greatly appreciated!

NOTE FROM CLEMENT:
Vigilar Intense School is now closed and no longer in business.
Employees and instructors were suddenly told the very sad news last week. Once again it is a case of bankruptcy and many instructors, suppliers, sales people, partners, and others will not get paid.
The decision was a total surprise to the employees and consultants, unfortunately many of them will never be paid for the classes they have delivered or the supplies and services they have provided.
The worst of course are the clients who have bought classes that will not be delivered or clients who have bought seats from their own pockets and they are now left out of luck with no training. Some companies have bought vouchers and those companies invested portion or all of their annual budget, some of them loosing their yearly training budget.
The people who were affected is the tragedy in all of this. Why were they still taking order and people's money the day before closing I do not understand. It seems that management did not bother telling them they were about to close. To say the least this is extremely unfortunate and sad timing at this time of the year.
I know that some of you will be out of luck as far as your training is concerned, we are always willing to help, please contact Security University and we can definitively help you readjust and move forward with your training needs. Visit SU website or Call Sondra at:

Below you have an extract from a message posted by Barry Kaufman on one of the public forum where he talks about the closure:
Message from Barry on Intense School
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
There are a lot of you and so I am writing this to you all at once.
On Wednesday I was cut off of email at Vigilar, and then laid off on Friday.
Vigilar is shutting its doors, the senior management pursued several different avenues to save the whole business, but was unsuccessful.
As I understand it there were many factors that led to the company’s demise but ultimately the combination of a very tight (capricious even) credit market along problems in our other business units led to this outcome.
When a merger agreement fell apart several weeks ago the senior (controlling) creditors of Vigilar elected to shut the business down. They closed Vigilar's product business 2 weeks ago, and then decided this past Friday to shut down the Intense School, instead of continuing with a solution to keep Intense School alive. I am very sorry that this has happened; Intense School, although just a brand of Vigilar for the last 4.5 years, has been a very important part of many of our lives; while we fought hard to keep it alive, what has happened has been beyond my control.
As I am no longer an employee of Vigilar, I cannot advise you on AP issues, but suggest that if you have AP remaining, contact AP@vigilar.com. "
FCW Insider: What's the point of security certs? Posted by boss on Friday, 10 April 2009 @ 23:12:43 EDT (1730 reads) Topic CISSP In the Press
cdupuis writes "FCW Insider: What's the point of security certs?
As seen at: http://fcw.com/blogs/insider/2009/04/fcw-insider-security-certification.aspx
We have heard from a number of readers who see little value in requiring cybersecurity workers to have security-related industry certifications.
They were responding to our report about a Senate bill that would require contractors to license and certify anyone providing cybersecurity-related services to a federal agency (you can read the story here).
Several of these readers are not impressed specifically with Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) certifications. But certification, in general, is a bit of a red herring they said, because it does not reflect work experience, which is more valuable than test experience.
So we can't help but wonder: What is the point of certification? How can federal agencies ensure that their cybersecurity staffers, and their contractors' staff, have the right skill sets?
Meanwhile, here are excerpts from the comments we've received.
* I've been certified since 2003 and have contact with many "certified" folks who have no experience with actual skills on the job. The cost of getting certified is high for both individuals and companies, yet the government still wants to award to the low bidder. Companies can't afford to spend a lot of money and not get a return on their investment in the people. It is also very difficult to retain trained 'professionals' no matter if they are trained while under government sponsorship or by their company. There is a lot of job hopping to increase salaries without remaining long enough to actually learn/perfect skills or truly contribute to the agency's mission.
* If they are going to have certifications, then it should be a mix of the software vendors' certs, i.e. Microsoft, Cisco, Vmware, and then maybe a security cert. It's clear the government doesn't understand technology best practices. Which is why, military included, we get hacked by countries like China, N. Korea etc.
* Not another one. I have three masters, MIS,FWU, ISS- EMU, Nation Security, Navy War College, PMP-GW, Boot Camp, ISC2, 25 years of IT/ISS experience...yet not qualified. It is all about the $$$$$. This is a monopoly and employees should protest about this. I have fired more CISSPs. Passing a test means nothing. Before you know it, you won't need degrees, just paper certification.
* This sounds like the DOD Information Assurance initiative, which is nothing more than a memorization effort in order to pass a test that on average has little to do with what a person does on a daily basis. Vendors selling these classes are getting rich and taxpayers don't see any measurable benefit to it. It just looks good on a resume to have these certifications. Doesn't make anyone smarter if they do not have experience to begin with.
* Great. Another worthless paper certification. And I include CISSP in that. Took me 45 minutes to parse the exam questions for the correct answers to pass that test then ISC2 wanted "maintenance" fees throughout the 3 year certification period. Those fees were not disclosed when I got the CISSP cert. Now I have to pay the "overdue" fees to re-certify since the 3 years ended. WTF? ISC2 is just about the money and they are going to exploit this one for all it's worth.

CISM and CISSP credentials are still paying good rewards Posted by boss on Wednesday, 01 October 2008 @ 16:47:51 EDT (1566 reads) Topic CISSP In the Press
Information security certifications aren't often easy to obtain, but according to new IT data, those who have them are seeing their salaries rise.

Conditions are in place for a fairly sustained momentum [when it comes to] staffing skilled security people internally. David Foote, founder and CEO, Foote Partners LLC |

Following the release of data from its most recent quarterly IT salary survey, Foote Partners LLC, a Vero Beach, Fla.-based independent research group, announced that pay for IT certifications was down for the eighth straight quarter, but a few sectors bucked the trend.
"Of the 165 certified skills we survey, only 17 increased in value over last year," said David Foote, the firm's founder and CEO. Included in that handful of skills are several security certifications, such as the Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) and Certified Information Security Manager (CISM).
In fact, seven of the 17 certifications that increased in value were from the security sector, with those who had earned the GIAC Security Expert (GSE) certification posting a whopping 36.4% average salary increase during the last 12 months: the largest salary growth of any certified professional. Overall, pay for security certifications was up 0.4% during the last six months and 2% during the last year (through July 1, 2008), compared with the downward trend of all IT certifications, which lost 2.5% during the last six months and 3.5% during the past year.
Also measured in the annual report were the changes in value for uncertified IT skills. The increase in pay for uncertified network security management skills was in step with the salary increase of GSE certified workers at 36.4% for last year.
According to Foote, spikes in value occur when the gap between demand and skills supply widens. "There are two reasons why that can occur," he said, "and it is rarely a decline in skills supply that cause[s] gap fluctuations -- it's surging demand."
So what's making the difference for security? Foote said the upward trend started with business' compliance concerns when the Sarbanes Oxley Act (SOX) debuted in 2002; it made sense for enterprises to put some money into security infrastructure and personnel to avoid paying the penalties of being noncompliant. Security awareness, however, has grown from there.
Separately, Foote Partners' data shows that the companies surveyed have raised their budgets for IT security governance by an average of 10.8% in the past year. Enterprises are more interested in keeping their data secure following high-profile breaches like the one at TJX Companies Inc. "Businesses are starting to hold vendors' feet to the fire," Foote said. "They are asking … for products with baked-in security."
With increased awareness comes greater need for experienced security pros to manage security plans and systems. This, Foote said, is why demand for security certifications -- particularly those with security management-related certifications like GSE, CISSP and CISM -- is growing.
Foote predicts demand for certified information security practitioners will only increase. Once greater security education comes into sync with budget planning, the demand and funding for security staff will continue to rise.
The seven security certifications that gained in value over the last year were GSE, CISM at 27.3%, the Certified Hacking Forensics Investigator (CHFI) at 14.3%, the GIAC Certified Intrusion Analyst (GCIA) and GIAC Systems and Network Auditor (GSNA) both at 11.1%, the Cisco Certified Security Professional (CCSP) at 9.1% and CISSP at 8.3%.
Foote said information security has proven to be one of the most stable IT niches for those who enjoy the work and are well-trained. "Conditions are in place for a fairly sustained momentum [when it comes to] staffing skilled security people internally," Foote said.

Moving Target: The CISSP (Certified Information Systems Security Professional) Posted by boss on Thursday, 07 December 2006 @ 08:38:06 EST (2149 reads) Topic CISSP In the Press
cdupuis writes "By Mary K. Pratt ComputerWorld.Com Click HERE for original story
Brian Haddock, Patricia Myers and Marjan Rajabi started their careers in very different places: Haddock repossessed cars, Myers worked in banking, and Rajabi was an electrical engineer. Now, however, they share a common link: They’re all information security professionals.
Such a diversity of backgrounds might seem odd, but this emerging field is attracting a variety of workers who are drawing on their prior business experience — whatever it might be — to develop the kind of technological safeguards and corporate policies that keep companies’ information assets secure.
Through self-directed study and on-the-job learning, Haddock, Myers and Rajabi each earned a certification that indicates both broad knowledge and practical experience as an information security professional. But while many have taken that path in the recent past, the profession’s maturation is raising the bar on job requirements in the field. Hiring managers say they still want to see certification, but they also look for an IT degree — ideally one focusing on information security — as well as business acumen.
“There are great security people who didn’t come in with a degree, and I don’t take someone out of consideration if they don’t have a degree. But we’re starting to see much more emphasis on professional training and college,” says Jim Molini, who holds a CISSP designation. Molini is deputy program manager for enterprise services at The Mitre Corp., a not-for-profit government contractor with headquarters in Bedford, Mass., and McLean, Va.
These changing standards don’t come as a surprise to industry leaders such as Myers, who holds the CISSP-ISSMP certification and is chairperson of the (ISC)2 board of directors and the information security manager at a large specialty retailer.
The nonprofit (ISC)2, or International Information Systems Security Certification Consortium, has certified more than 42,000 information security professionals in 110 countries. The 17-year-old organization issues the CISSP and several related designations.
In 1986, Myers was working in the finance division of a bank when she was tapped to develop an information security program. She joined the Information Systems Security Association (ISSA), took security-related classes and reached out to colleagues doing similar work. “At that time, there were no colleges and universities that were offering courses,” Myers says. “You learned by taking [noncollege] courses, finding a good support group of people who already knew the business and attending special conferences.”
Today, however, Myers says companies are increasingly looking for professionals who have more formal training and experience in information security — a trend that follows the rise of reputable training and academic programs such as those offered by (ISC)2 and some colleges. She points out that some schools are now even offering doctoral degrees in “information assurance.”
These evolving standards correspond to the broadening responsibilities of information security professionals, says Bill Hodge, who holds the CISA and CISSP certifications and is the owner of W.L. Hodge Consulting LLC, a Knoxville, Tenn.-based firm focusing on information systems governance. “We define who or what has access to what information when,” Hodge says.
Information security professionals once installed firewalls, password protections and encryption programs; now they manage them. But they also have to deal with the complex applications that help companies comply with a growing list of federal and state regulations aimed at protecting sensitive data. These regulations include the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
“That’s absolutely driving the need for these professionals,” says Audrey Pantas, chief information risk officer at Xerox Corp.

CISSP required on staff to get the Microsoft Certified Partnership Posted by boss on Tuesday, 22 November 2005 @ 20:38:05 EST (2779 reads) Topic CISSP In the Press
cdupuis writes "Microsoft Certified Partnership has a Security Competency for vendors
who want to deploy Microsoft solutions. To achieve the competency
and the benefits associated with it, the partner company needs to
employ or contract individuals certified for the competency.
Of note, the security competency has 2 specializations: Infrastructure and Management.
Infrastructure accepts CISSP, SSCP has an alternative.
Security Management requires companies to employ or contract 2 CISSP's (or CISA, CISM).
(https://partner.microsoft.com/US/security/securityoverview/40017158)
In addition it requires 3 client referrals that the vendor *actually* has provided security solutions.
I think this is a positive thing for our community raising the commercial value of the certifications required.
Any thoughts?

JUNE 28, 2004 (COMPUTERWORLD)
The International Standards Organization last week gave its stamp of approval to the CISSP security certification for IT workers, and a half-dozen security managers said the endorsement should help enhance the certification's legitimacy and acceptance.
They added that boosting CISSP's credibility would be a welcome development at a time when companies are increasingly being asked by their boards of directors and by auditors and regulators to prove that they have done due diligence on all matters related to IT security including the hiring of security managers and other IT staffers.
The American National Standards Institute, the U.S. representative to the Geneva-based ISO, announced that the standards bodies are granting certificate accreditation to the Certified Information Systems Security Professional credential. Roy Swift, an ANSI program director, said CISSP is the first IT certification to be accredited under ISO/IEC 17024, a global benchmark for workers in various professions.
The accreditation will hopefully give CISSP a shot in the arm, said Christofer Hoff, director of enterprise security services at Western Corporate Federal Credit Union, a San Dimas, Calif.-based company with $25 billion in assets. "While broadly accepted as a benchmark credential, it's still viewed in some circles as being somewhat soft in the certification process," he added.
In fact, most IT certification programs "are often under fire for being too lenient and not reflecting the actual skills of the person," said Andrew Plato, president of Anitian Corp., a network security consulting firm and systems integrator in Beaverton, Ore.
"The ISO accreditation will likely help dispel notions that the CISSP certification is meaningless."
'A Positive Step'
The CISSP credential is awarded by International Information Systems Security Certification Consortium Inc., a nonprofit organization in Vienna, Va., known informally as (ISC)2.
Although it's just one of several similar certifications, CISSP is considered the most popular. More than 27,000 IT security workers have earned the certification so far, according to (ISC)2.
The ISO's accreditation of CISSP should lessen some of the uncertainty that now exists for IT managers because of the competing certification programs, said Kim Milford, information security manager in the IT department at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
"It's made hiring more confusing at times, as we need to weigh the strengths of different certifications against each other," Milford said. The university now plans to require security professionals to have CISSP credentials in order to qualify for senior positions, she added.
David Stacey, global IT security director at St. Jude Medical Inc. in St. Paul, Minn., already requires a CISSP certificate for any senior security position at the $1.6 billion maker of cardiovascular equipment. Stacey said the ISO's official recognition of the certification program is a positive step, given the growing importance of IT security to companies like his.
"Security is now a business enabler, and security leaders need to be better trained, more experienced and more business-savvy," Stacey said. "The CISSP is a good metric of that leadership ability."
However, Swift said other organizations that offer IT security certifications have also applied to the ISO for accreditation. "There's a strong demand for third-party review of these certifications to reassure the consumer and the government that the people who have these certifications do have the knowledge and skills they say they have," he added.
Alan Paller, director of research at the SANS Institute in Bethesda, Md., said his organization is seeking accreditation for its IT security certification program.
The Information Systems Audit and Control Association in Rolling Meadows, Ill., has filed similar applications for separate certifications it offers to IT security managers and auditors.
To qualify for CISSP certification, security professionals need to have either four years of work experience or a three-year college degree in a related field, said James Duffy, executive director of (ISC)2. They must also pass a six-hour exam designed to test their knowledge of technology and business issues related to information security.
Swift said the accreditation was granted after a review of (ISC)2's policies and procedures, including those for testing, maintaining, reviewing and withdrawing certification. The test itself was also reviewed to ensure that the questions are relevant to the skills being assessed, he said.

LONDON
IT departments looking to hire new staff will be interested to learn that one of the world's leading security qualifications, the CISSP (certified information systems security professional), has become the first in the industry to meet the new ISO/IEC 17024 standard.
The 17204 benchmark was launched last year by the International Standards Organization as a way of assessing whether qualifications across a range of professions could demonstrate minimum standards.
Despite its drab name, it's a good example of the way in which professional qualifications and those affecting IT and security in particular are increasingly coming under international scrutiny.
The CISSP security qualification, awarded by the not-for-profit industry consortium (ISC)2, is held by 25,000 IT staff globally.
Passing the test requires taking an six-hour exam that marks candidates on their understanding of broad-based security concepts, and is only open to professionals with at least four years'
experience.
"Qualifications are important but they're not the be all and end all.
But if I interview someone with a CISSP, I know they have a baseline of knowledge," said (ISC)2 president John Colley.
He stressed that it wasn't designed to rival vendor-specific qualifications such as Cisco Systems Inc.'s CCNP or Microsoft Corp.'s MCSE, but instead to provide a higher-level equivalent that demonstrated knowledge of a range of systems.
Such qualifications would become more important as security moved to the center of the IT department and with staff increasingly hired on the basis of their proven security knowledge, Colley said.
The CISSP was unlikely to become a necessity to getting a security job, but he suggested it was establishing itself as necessary for those members of the IT team tasked with hiring other security staff in industries such as banking."

The Certified Information Systems Security Professional just became a more coveted credential today after its governing body announced the CISSP received accreditation under ISO/IEC 17024.
It's the first IT program to earn such accreditation under this personnel-oriented standard from the International Organization for Standardization and the American National Standards Institute, according to James Duffy, executive director of the International Information Systems Security Certification Consortium (ISC)2.
Duffy said the CISSP, which (ISC)2 has administered the past decade, is now closer to becoming the global gold standard in information security. "Educated, qualified and certified information security professionals are the key to protecting the critical infrastructure on which businesses and governments around the world operate," he said in a statement.
"They'll know, when there are shops that are ISO 17024, that there's a minimum qualification that's been met with their professionals," said Schmidt, who now is in charge of information security for online auction company eBay.?

A Certified Information Systems Security Practitioner shares study tips for obtaining the hot certification.
By Barton Mckinley Network World, 04/12/04
I am now a Certified Information Systems Security Practitioner, although it took me awhile to become one. I thought about, debated, delayed and put off taking the exam for almost two years. Even when I finally did sign up for the test, I wondered if I had made a mistake.
Finding the time to study for the International Information Systems Security Certification Consortium (ISC2)'s top-level certification was a challenge. When I hit the books, I jumped from topic to topic without much of a plan. This haphazard approach was perfect in generating anxiety, but was virtually useless in preparing for the exam.
