We have a good friend, who is also the owner of the popular website, Learn Security Online. His name is Joe McCray. We wanted highlight Joe’s recent appearance as a guest speaker at the major security conference; uCon Security Conference 2009 - Recife, Brazil
Joe is a sharp penetration tester and deserves a highlight from this site!!
Cisco recently introduced certifications for the CCNA that allow you to gain a focus or concentration. There are currently three options, voice, wireless and security. They are basically lower level (or less difficult) tests that you can take to achieve this addition to your CCNA.
I have a feeling that the CCNA with Security is going to be the popular choice. Training for that is already available, typically as a three day class.
So watch for the 640-553 as the Cisco with Security, it should have a nice impact on the Network Security arena. Network Security consultants should start to flash the certification around a good bit and I think it should be as mainstay as CCNA is to Network Admins within two years or so. Thats usually how long it takes for certifications to gain ground.
Network security companies and IT consultants will need to be sure to maintain the latest skill sets in router and switch lock down and security. Cisco (no surprise) is paving the way here.

The DoD Directive 8570 is changing much of the IT playing field in the Washington DC, Maryland and VA area.
This area is being impacted by the Directive because many people may be losing jobs. Currently, Information Assurance personnel are being forced to get DoD 8570 training and certification. The DC area is loaded with Dept. of Defense contractors and these are the people who need to obtain these certifications.
The Washington area IT sector is also being effected by the Base Relocation that is coming up in the DoD.
