I remain very interested in knowing the practical, real-world
differences between the CISSP and GIAC certifications. There has been
plenty of discussion about the inherent conflict of interest of the
certifying bodies (ISC2 and SANS), but I'm more interested in finding
out how the marketplace views and values these certifications, with
the understanding that an individual with a certification and nothing
else is not much of an asset to any organization, as has been noted
earlier.
