CPE credits

For those who are looking for CPE credits, you can visit ISC2's e-Symposium website - http://isc2.brighttalk.com/. I have viewed a couple of recorded events and they are very informative.

If you have any of the ISC2's certification and you passed the quiz after attending/viewing the event, the CPE credits can be automatically added to your certification. For more information, click here.

Good day!!!

It is almost summer again here in the U.S. and most of us will be travelling around (even though gas prices are so expensive nowadays). I am starting a blog about my summer trips and future trips after that. Since this blog is about Information Security Certifications, I will be posting pictures of me with any of my CISSP books below and also my Office Space T-shirt.

I will also try to post information about InfoSec Certifications like CISSP, SSCP, CISA, CISM, GIAC, Security+, etc. This Information Technology field has been growing rapidly and it is difficult to keep up with the changes and I hope this blog will be able to point you to the right places where to get more information about these certifications.

I hope everybody is having a great day!!!
