hi sc-l, Paco Hope and I have debated security certifications for years (a friendly battle of sorts). During my last trip to London on a train to go visit Ross Anderson in Cambridge, Paco suggested that I interview ISC^2 Executive Director Hord Tipton. I'm glad I did!
Hord and I talk about his long and storied career in technology and security. And yes, we talk about certifying software security professionals with the CSSLP certification (which Paco helped develop). I'm still not sure I believe in it, but I do understand what Hord is trying to accomplish more fully.
