This is supposed to be an excellent up and coming certification for
Security professionals.  It is evidently going to be required for all
new federally hired Security people, and I think it is going to
become something of a standard.  It won't be as good for you as CISSP
or SANS, most likely, but I think it's going to be a great cert to
have.

That is just from what I have read in a few places - no way to know
for sure how it will be accepted/adopted by those who matter.
