[CISSP-D] CISSP skills transfer; beyond the certification game

Subject: [CISSP-D] CISSP skills transfer; beyond the certification game

While strong emphasis remains in the CISSP certitifcation (hence the 
first letter of CISSP), we must keep our focus on the core asset behind 
all of this, which is knowledge, skills and experience beyond passing 
the exam and getting the certificate.  

In an extreme debate on this issue, as an employer if Iam to choose 
between a CISSP certified person lacking adequate experiences, skills 
and maturity and another qualified security professional with the 
proper knowledge,skills and experiences but without the CISSP 
certification, I - as an employer - would go for the latter choice.

Iam not against the CISSP scheme as such, but I am surely against the 
commercialization and commoditization of this great discipline, 
speically when you see individuals getting the certification through QA 
drills and memorizing past exams.

Finally, as we are launching a CISSP skills transfer program, I would 
like to open the dood for individuals interested in sharing their 
knowledge and experience with the rest of us.  This will be a 2-way 
give and take initiative where the more experienced professionals help 
the relatively new comers into this discipline.

Regards to all ....
