1997-09-22-18:37:11 Tina Bird:I know the ISSA offers some sort of IS security certification, but I have a vague recollection that it's pretty mainframe oriented.
You'll find many vocal people --- Anton in the lead --- who will come charging out to deny this. You won't find anyone else who knows anything detailed about it --- they don't advertise enough detail to evaluate whether the test is worth anything or not --- so their word has to stand unchallenged, at least on this point. I really look forward to hearing what you have to say about this program.
I haven't paid much attention to the cert ads I've gotten because I don't take them very seriously as proof of expertise [...]
You're in good company there; people whose expertise and opinions I respect don't seem to have any use for these professional certifications. But if you leave it off your resume it won't hurt you come interviewing time:-).
[...] Despite what people like Paul Robertson say, this is a true test.
Not just Paul:-). -Bennett
