In addition to what Tim Mugherini (recently certified with a 94, by the way. Way to go, Tim! :) said, your other options for this course are vLive, OnDemand, and Self Study. All three are more economical ways to get the course without having to travel, and may shave some of the cost. According to the Salary Survey's I have seen for 2008, the GCIH really doesn't compare to the CEH in purpose or recognition, or in the purpose of the course. The GCIH has a fair amount of hacker techniques and malware concepts, but isn't the same as the GPEN which is probably closer to the CEH. It contains actual Incident Handling processes that are important (especially for auditors - they love to see holders of this cert on staff.) SANS training is best, but I am biased.Maybe one of these options helps? iamnowonmai On Thu, Oct 22, 2009 at 2:24 PM, Ben <ben at thegeekzone.com> wrote:
Hello everyone, I am trying to convince my boss to let me go to a SANS 504 Hacker Techniques, Exploits & Incident Handling course but, in this economy, he's concerned about cost. I told him that SANS is the best training out there but he wants me to find the cost of similar training from other vendors, if it's out there. Does anyone know of similar courses from other companies?
