    I've been deluged in mail from people saying
    various things complementary and derogatory
    as well as taking me up on my offer.
    
    Can I short circuit a lot of the latter - I do
    have a life and a 'day job' so I can't possibly
    keep replying, by giving this reference for
    the various security certifications and related
    courses.  It covers a wide spectrum.
    
    I emphasise once again that there is a lot more
    to security than technology.  Just excuse you're
    good at the technology side doesn't mean that you'll
    be good at security in the sense of corporate governance.
    
    Please also note that a vendor certification in even
    a security product doesn't mean that you are dealing
    with security as a business process.  But then a MBA
    doesn't tell you how to approach defining and
    implementing a perimeter protection policy.
    
    Remember also that InfoSec is just one small part of
    security landscape.

    To quote from the article
    
    Take a wander through the landscape of infosec certification and you will
    encounter a morass of acronyms, training and exam fees, claims and
    counterclaims. Pete Thomas, Editor of SecurityWatch, and Tony Rich,
    Account Director of UK IT security recruitment specialists Acumin
    <http://www.acumin.co.uk/>, help you find your way.
