Hi Jordan, I advice you to have a look at www.cramsession.com there is a tool that Compares certification and gives you an approx of what they are worth and more info. CISSP is to me better than SSCP, nevertheless you need 4 years of security experience Just to be able to take the exam, which limits the number of participants and Make it straight away more difficult to get if you don't conform to the requirements. For more information I think the www.isc2.org See You, Guillaume LAVOIX -----Mensaje original----- De: Jordan, Jason D. "Dallas" [mailto:Jason.Jordan () honeywell-tsi com] Enviado el: martes, 02 de diciembre de 2003 18:14 Para: 'security-basics () securityfocus com' Asunto: Which CERT to get Hello List, I would like to get some opinions on which cert would be better to get. I know this has been discussed a bit here on the list, but I have a couple specific certs I mind. I was wanting to know which would be the better one to pursue, the CISSP or the SSCP? Both are from ISC2. I am presently trying to get into the security field and have been told the CISSP would be the best one to get, but it seems to be a bit more managerially focused. I'm not really trying to be a Security manger. I would like to have the more technical skills. Is the SSCP more technical or is it similar to the CISSP? Any opinions and advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
