ASK ED TITTEL
Is there a SAP security cert?
Dear Ed:
I have been working in the area of security for the last four years, specifically in the SAP area. I have both 4.0 and 4.6 experience. While I have great experience, there doesn't seem to be a certification course explicitly for security. Do you know of an SAP security certification? Should I move to some area other than SAP and work on getting certified? If I move, what area would you suggest?

Tales of the glitch: PC grant comes a century late
![]()

Nicola Valeriani got one of those grants -- and a letter from the country's innovations minister, congratulating Nicola on "coming of age" and qualifying for a new PC. But Nicola won't be getting online. Can you see where this is going? The late Nicola Valeriani died in 1974. Thanks to -- what else -- a computer glitch, the government thought he had just turned 16. In reality, if he were alive, Nicola would have been 116. His daughter gave the money back.
