Re: what is required for an engineer to become an SECURITY engineer

[Liran Cohen <theog () tehila gov il>]

Well, I don't think there is really a way to measure one's expertise 
regarding Information security, Would you trust you're money with some 
banker who just finished his economics degree and opened a bank? , I 
guess, as in many fields, so in the Information security business, 
experience,recommendation and reputation will be the criteria, one 
cannot simply take a test and become a  security engineer (although many 
people claim to be a lot of things... :) ).
