SSCP Certification (cert_image_right_SSCP.jpg)
SYNOPSIS
(ISC)2®, the International Information System Security Certification Consortium, Inc., introduced the SSCP® (Systems Security Certified Practitioner) certification in March 2001. This intermediate-level certification is meant for IT security practitioners with a minimum of one year of PROFESSIONAL experience in the field of information security. This experience requirement essentially forms the prerequisite for this vendor-neutral certification. In June 2003, (ISC)2® introduced an Associate  program  that allows candidates to take the exam before they meet the experience requirement. Here’s what (ISC)2® says about this: After passing the selected exam and signing (ISC)2's® Code of Ethics, the Associate must garner the requisite work experience and successfully complete a professional endorsement process before he/she becomes officially certified as CISSP® or SSCP®. The SSCP® is not required for (ISC)2’s CISSP® certification, but is a logical step on the way towards this premier certification, as well as to other vendor-specific and vendor-neutral security certifications.

The term ‘CPE’ is an acronym for Continued Professional Education credits. After a candidate becomes certified, he/she is required to perform continuing education per three-year certification period to become recertified… An SSCP® must submit 60 CPEs during the 3-year re-certification period. Of the 60 CPEs that are required, at least 40 must be ‘A’ credits (directly related to the 7 major domains of the SSCP® CBK) and as many as 20 can be ‘B’ credits (not related to the 7 domains of the SSCP® CBK®).”

This certification is well suited to IT professionals who want to call themselves IS (Information Security) professionals, network security practitioners or systems security practitioners. The SSCP® designation is achieved by passing one exam.

Untitled Document > Persistent Group Chat: An Approach for More Profitable Team Communications : Unlike email, instant messages (IMs) do not allow group communication; nor do they persist -- you can't hold on to them for as long as you wish. Persistent group chat, however, allows businesses to organize persistent dialogue around business-critical topics, and keep them for easy retrieval later.
