RE: Certification Advice

["Martin, James E." <martin () more net>]

CCSP is a Cisco security cert. 

I've heard of other folks geting confused since the changes in ISC certifications. Yes, there are the three new CISSP 
concentrations, but there's also the Associate's program for those who don't have the experience to qualify for the 
full CISSP:

Hope this helps!

Where have you seen that?  I am on the isc2.org page and if you do a
search for CCSP on their site it finds 0 items!  Are you thinking of the
SSCP, which is sponsored by the same org? I am currently signed up for
the CISSP test and there is no mention of name/cert replacements as of
yet.  Now there have been other certs added to isc2's list, but you MUST
have the CISSP as a basis in order to even sign up for them. Please site
your references.

Thanks,
Preston
