Hi all. byc> I noticed that the question of 'CISSP or degree' got a lot byc> of feedbacks and comments. I am also considering more education byc> in order to enter security field. I already have BS degree from byc> good school and working for a IT company working with various byc> applications. However, I have always wanted to be a little bit byc> more technical and be exposed to more research-like environment. byc> Not sure if I want Ph.D., but definitely looking at one of those byc> MS in information security. Georgia Tech and several other byc> reputable universities offer such program. In russia we have more than 10 years experience in Information Security education. The only one Real security - good and strong cryptography. Any other things - it's just additional measures. Long time ago, when i was freshman in the university - i had to disagree with our Gurus but now 9 years left and I absolutelly agree with them. So if you wanna be in 'real' security - you must have good math base - it's not possible to get it in two yaers. I have 4.5 years of math in university and it isn't enough. I'm learning math 4 years after graduation, but it isn't enough. I think 10-12 years of continuous math learning is enough ;-). If you want became security folk - University is a good start :-) But the only university degree - is NOT A SILVER BULLET!!! Good luck Vladimir B. Kropotov Bauman university Moscow byc> After working almost 2 years in industry, I know that byc> experience is really important and that I can acquire the byc> knowledge myself through many sources although I don't go back to byc> school to do it. On the other hand, the idea of getting higher or byc> specialized education and degree is really appealing. Also, byc> since my current work does not have anything to do with security, byc> getting more education might offer me a better chance of getting byc> in to security field than studying on my own, getting some certs byc> and try to convince companies to believe that I know about byc> security. byc> Any opinions welcome byc> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- byc> EARN A MASTER OF SCIENCE IN INFORMATION ASSURANCE - ONLINE byc> The Norwich University program offers unparalleled Infosec management byc> education and the case study affords you unmatched consulting experience. byc> Tailor your education to your own professional goals with degree byc> customizations including Emergency Management, Business Continuity Planning, byc> Computer Emergency Response Teams, and Digital Investigations. byc> http://www.msia.norwich.edu/secfocus byc> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- С уважением, Vladimir mailto:slyman2000 () Mail ru --------------------------------------------------------------------------- EARN A MASTER OF SCIENCE IN INFORMATION ASSURANCE - ONLINE The Norwich University program offers unparalleled Infosec management education and the case study affords you unmatched consulting experience.
