This will be a place for my thoughts regarding the security world. From commentary about the events of the day, higher policy issues, and training/education, I plan to gather it all here. This way it will be a personal record and archive that I can use for personal development, with the potential that it may help others along the way as well.
After acquiring the CISSP certification, I have heard many in the infosec community express negative views of it. The one thing I would like to express is that I find value in it because I got the experience and absorbed the knowledge in order to obtain it. While it is not overly technical, I learned about some higher level items, that were outside of my previous experience, that I feel gives me some insight about other parts of the business enterprise. For me, being able to see things from a higher level is a very positive experience and thus of great benefit personally. I don't think it makes me a genius or an expert at anything, but I value it because of the work I put in to get it. I am wary of those who label themselves as geniuses and experts anyway, so I am unlikely to ever feel I meet that criteria (nor would I desire to). If I ever think I have nothing left to learn, it is time for me to have a brain scan.
Now on to bigger and better things. This blog will motivate me to stay informed, express my views, improve on my writing skills, improve on my presentation skills, and otherwise stay more actively involved with the security world.
