Hi,
This thread is probably out of place, but since the subject has
already been broached:
I think there is movement towards "certified" engineers (e.g. CNE).
Locally we have been talking about a need for CSEs (Certified
Security Engineers).
I think this interest in Computer Security curriculums at the
university level may be in response to pressure from the government (as
a customer for computer systems with increased requirements for
security) to certify and accredit their systems.
I think it's a good move.
I would be interested in thoughts on this topic.
Is there a need for CSEs?
How would the certification be done?
Would the certification be general (security concepts) or specific
(kerberos certified)?
and the like.
Thanks
Jim Truitt
