RE: Distinctions in Certification

["Sadanapalli, Pradeep Kumar (MED, TCS)" <Pradeep.Sadanapalli () med ge com>]

As fas as I believe, one difference will be the number of security 
domains that these certifications cover. CISSP covers all the domains,
so 
if you are CISSP certified, no need to go for GIAC. Someone correct me
if 
I am wrong.

Cheers...

Whats the difference between the different security certifications? ie.
GIAC cert vs. CISSP? Whats the different in the eyes of the industry, as
well as prospective employers (if you are wanting to draw a distinction
between the two).
