RE: Security Skills Self Assessment

Here's the link:

https://portal.sans.org/assessments/

They say that if you perform well enough on the skills assessment that
you can challenge the certification.

Thanks,

SANS offers a really, really good one that is supposed to be taken
prior to enrolling in Security 401.  You'll need to create a Portal
account to view it, but it's pretty challenging.  They also offer one
for TCP/IP, which I've found to be excellent.
