CISSP Fix

Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) is used for obtaining the revocation status of an X.509 digital certificate. It is used to verify the status of a certificate. It was created as an alternative to certificate revocation lists (CRL). It provides more timely information about the revocation status of a certificate. It also eliminates the need for clients to retrieve the CRLs themselves. Therefore, it generates to less network traffic and provides better bandwidth management. It is described in RFC 2560 and is on the Internet standards track.

Certificate Enrollment Protocol (CEP) allows Cisco devices to acquire and utilize digital certificates from Certification Authorities (CAs). This protocol is primarily used for deployment of IPSec VPNs while using digital certificate authentication with Cisco devices.

Certificate Management Protocol (CMP) provides functionalities for advanced management associated with the use of digital certificates such as certificate issuance, exchange, revocation, invalidation, etc. This protocol is able to operate over any protocol.

I looked the blooming IT market after lifeless recession, and feel the warm of standing at the higher grounds. ISC-2 got my nerves when I passed CISSP, but I don’t know what happened to them. I mean can’t they see the hot cake of today’s scenario. Yes, guys I am talking about PENETRATION TESTING.

After being disheartened by ISC-2, I look forward to another vendors. As expected I found two renowned vendors providing certification for Penetration testing– EC-Council and GIAC.

For EC-Council, You must pass there old famous CEH (312-50) and Security analyst (ECSA-412-79) to become Penetration tester.

I found this paper really helpful, its objectives covered broad domain.

The Security Certified Network Specialist (SC0-451) certification is designed to examine the knowledge of networking and security skills required by a network security professional. This validation is done basically on the following technologies: Network Defense Fundamentals, Advanced TCP/IP, Routers and Access Control Lists, Designing Firewalls, Configuring Firewalls, Configuring Virtual Private Networks, Designing an Intrusion Detection System, Configuring an Intrusion Detection System and Securing Wireless Networks.

There are no specific prerequisites for this certification but any kind of Security+ certification or its equivalent work experience is recommended.

Wiretapping is an act of monitoring telephone and Internet conversations by a third party. It is only legal with prior consent. Legalized wiretapping is generally practiced by the police or any other recognized governmental authority.

ISC2 Common Body of Knowledge (CBK) has specified objectives for the CISSP test. These objectives are grouped under ten CBK domains. Following are some important areas in which an individual should possess good knowledge before taking the CISSP test:

* Deploying and managing SSL certificates
* Implementing security for wireless networks
* Configuring public and private wireless LANs
* Configuring authentication for secure remote access
* Configuring IPSec authentication and troubleshooting IPSec
* Implementing Public key infrastructure and hashing function
* Configuring and troubleshooting authentication for Web users
* Implementing Internet security and handling types of attacks
* Configuring IPSec to secure communication between networks and hosts
* Configuring and troubleshooting virtual private network (VPN) protocols
* Installing and configuring Certificate Authority (CA) hierarchies, root, intermediate, and issuing CA. Managing Certificate Authorities (CAs)

This test prepares you for various job roles, which include: systems engineer, systems administrator, network administrator, information systems administrator, technical support engineers, systems analysts, network analysts and technical consultants. If you would like to know more about the Windows XP CISSP test please visit the Array website.

The test is appropriate for you if you are working or want to work in a typically complex computing environment of medium-to-large organizations. There are no specific prerequisites for this test, although it is recommended that you should have at least one year of experience in implementing and administering any desktop operating system in a network environment.

CISSP certification is an advanced-level certification specially meant for IT security professionals who have a minimum of four years of professional experience in the field of information security.

The CISSP certification validates your abilities and knowledge of the ten domains of a Common Body of Knowledge (CBK) such as access control, application security, cryptography, business continuity and disaster recovery planning, IS and risk management, operations security, physical security, security architecture and design, telecommunications and network security, and legal, regulations, compliance and investigations.

(ISC)2 Common Body of Knowledge (CBK) has specified objectives for the CISSP test. These objectives are grouped under ten CBK domains. Following are some important areas in which an individual should possess good knowledge before taking the CISSP test:
