Information Security Engineer


MSISE Graduate and GSE Re-certified

I’m a bit late in posting that I finally graduated with a SANS Technology Institute Masters of Science in Information Security Engineering degree.  It took me awhile to get back on here because I was studying for the GSE.  More on that in a bit.

In looking over the MSISE curriculum changes since the version I signed with, it was great to see that the GCCC requirement is added.  I took the 20 Critical Controls course back in May from James Tarala (@isaudit).  The course content gives any student a good start in how to go about securing their environment.  It’s a great compendium to the material covered in SEC401.

Taking the multiple choice part of the GSE yesterday was a humbling experience showing how much I’m losing skillsets by not utilizing them.  My grade was a full letter grade lower than my score 4 years ago.  If you don’t know about it, when you re-certify the GSE you get all of your GIAC certificates renewed.

Now that I have finished school I’m hopefully to start blogging more about infosec stuff.
