IACRB Certs
Does anyone have any idea how recognised the CREA and CASS certifications are ? Has anyone taken them ?
http://www.iacertification.org/crea_...g_analyst.html http://www.iacertification.org/cass_...pecialist.html They are offered by the Information Assurance Certification Review Board (IACRB). I know they are US based certs, but little else seems to exist in this area and I'd be prepared to travel... thanks Dave

No idea how recognised they are, in fact, I'v never heard about them until you've mentioned them. So can't help you there.
Wow, you're willing to travel over to the US just to sit an exam? Good luck mate on your studies  -ken The Martial Arts: The more you sweat in practice, the less you bleed in battle. My Community Profile

With the dollar the way it is at the moment its probably better value than taking a course and paying for a hotel in London. Other options are Cyprus for the CEH but I'd prefer to keep to a software bias.
I've not done any formal professional training courses for about 5 years so I figure I'm overdue. I'd probably take some time off and do a road trip at the same time if I do go...

Last year I did the west coast, the 101 in California, Oregon and Washington and over the border to Vancouver.
Its to early to say at the moment, ideas are being knocked about still, Route 66 is a possibility, as is the east coast. Friends doing a working holiday out there so plan is to fly out and take things from there...

What about these ones from EC Council :- http://www.eccouncil.org/certification.htm ECSP CSAD Since the CEH has pretty much taken over, maybe it would be a safer long term bet ? How are the CEH's finding holding onto their cert, how is the points program ?

I've heard of the CEH, however there are alot of alternatives to the CEH. My previous manager at my last place took a couple of courses from these guys (http://www.infosecinstitute.com/cour..._training.html).

Thanks ken, those are the exact courses I was considering...
http://www.infosecinstitute.com/cour..._training.html http://www.infosecinstitute.com/cour..._training.html They look like good courses, I'm not sure what will happen to my certs if the EC Council keeps winning ground though...

Here's Infosec for the UK
One thing that's a bonus (or was a bonus, as I'm not sure if it still applies) is that Infosec courses can be applied towards postgraduate certificate/diploma's/degrees. For more up to date info, just contact them.-ken The Martial Arts: The more you sweat in practice, the less you bleed in battle. My Community Profile

Yes I did find this :-
http://www.informationweek.com/story...leID=201002295 Not sure if its for me, think I'd prefer my masters to come from a more recognised University, or at least wait to see what happens. I've noticed theres lots of Infosec conferences the world over, I don't think that makes them any relation ? Who can I contact about the MSc credit ? thanks Dave

When I did my bachelor degree, a friend had some credits from a course somewhere, perhaps OU, I can't honestly remember, but my uni did not take them on board at all because they weren't on any scale they could use to compare to his current degree.
