Great question,<br><br>I will answer with the consultant approach: It depends<br><br>The GIAC certs are great but they are VERY technical for most of them and focused on one specific area such as Firewall, IDS, incident handling, audit, etc.... etc... <br>
<br>If you are a technical person doing a specific job those might be best. However, if your company expect you to be the one man gang, any of those certification would not be enough. You would need to have a collection of them and have very wide knowledge.<br>
<br>As far as the SSCP, it is not very well supported by ISC2. They do not publicize it much. I know very few people who have obtained the SSCP. If you are going to do all that studying for the SSCP, you may as well study a bit more and do the CISSP directly as an associate if you do not have enough years of experience. I would skip the SSCP altogether and save time and money.<br>
<br>Take care<br><br>Clement<br><br>

Hi All,<br><br>Just a quick question. Do you feel today Security + is even
asked by any company? I guess its just CISSP which is widely required by corporations.<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Apr 24, 2009 at 7:13 AM, Lonzell Scaife <span dir="ltr"><<a rel="nofollow" href="mailto:lscaife1@verizon.net" target="_blank">lscaife1@verizon.net</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I took both and felt like I wasted my money on the Sec+ as it was so much<br>
easier than the CISSP that I would call it CISSP very light. If you are<br>
ready for the CISSP then go for it. If you need a stepping stone to get to<br>
the CISSP then take the Sec+ to get your feet wet.<br>
