I am thinking about taking the CSSLP. I just bought the review book. Is it worth getting this certification? Is it going to raise my rates and help me get more contracts? Is the GIAC better or should I pursue both or neither? I wrote about the first concept of the CSSLP on my blog. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. http://parsonsisconsulting.blogspot.com/ Thanks, Matt Matt Parsons, MSM, CISSP 315-559-3588 Blackberry 817-294-3789 Home office "Do Good and Fear No Man" Fort Worth, Texas A.K.A The Keyboard Cowboy mailto:mparsons1...@gmail.com http://www.parsonsisconsulting.com http://www.o2-ounceopen.com/o2-power-users/ http://www.linkedin.com/in/parsonsconsulting http://parsonsisconsulting.blogspot.com/ http://www.vimeo.com/8939668 [cid:3354004848_806392] [cid:3354004848_800597]
