Subject: Cisco Security Training Leads to INFOSEC
[logo-tagline.gif]
Dear *************,
Cisco Security Training Leads to Information Systems Security (INFOSEC)
Professional Certificate
In April 2003, the National Security Agency (NSA) and the Committee on National
Security Systems (CNSS) awarded Cisco formal certification recognizing that Cisco
security courseware meets the 4011 training standard. This standard is intended
for Information Systems Security (INFOSEC) Professionals responsible for the
security oversight or management of critical networks. This formal NSA and CNSS
certification gives Cisco the authority to recognize those candidates who have
demonstrated that they have met this training standard.
To be eligible for the INFOSEC Professional certificate, candidates must be CCNA
certified and pass these security exams:
* SECUR-Securing Cisco IOS Networks (or MCNS)
* CSPFA-Cisco Secure PIX Firewall Advanced
* CSVPN-Cisco Secure Virtual Private Networks
* CSIDS-Cisco Secure Intrusion Detection System (or IDSPM)
This certificate indicates confidence in the competency of your skills. The 4011
standard for INFOSEC Professionals applies to all U.S. Government departments and
agencies, as well as to its contractors. Therefore, this certificate will help
you meet current or future Federal employment requirements. In environments where
these requirements do not apply, you can use this certificate to demonstrate that
you possess the knowledge and skills needed to oversee and protect critical
information infrastructures and networks.
On July 1, 2003, candidates in the Cisco Career Certifications Tracking System
who meet the above requirements will be recognized as an Information Systems
Security (INFOSEC) Professional and will receive a letter of recognition from
Cisco. Candidates who partially meet these requirements can track their progress
using the online tracking system as with all Cisco certifications at
www.cisco.com/go/certifications/login. To learn more about this and other
training standards set forth by the CNSS, go to www.nstissc.gov. Additional
information about this INFOSEC certificate can be found on the Certifications
Online Support page at www.cisco.com/go/certsupport.

| is this the same thing that the ISC has setup with the NSA?
i hope the cert isnt going to be called "INFOSEC" maybe ISSP or something? | |
| darthfeces 2003-07-02, 9:58 am |
| they are calling it issp.
i got the email in february since i was already css1 for a year at that time
now i have my ccsp in may.
i haven't received any issp cerdentials yet
though. | |
| darthfeces 2003-07-02, 10:00 am |
| oh daaaaaa
someday i'll learn to read
it says july 1
i didn't get the email yet though. | |
| spoofy 2003-07-02, 12:58 pm |
| do all versions of the tests count?
I finished my CCSP right after the Safe exam was released.... I hope the old MCNS and other tests qualify | |
| spoofy 2003-07-02, 1:04 pm |
| heh i guess i should read my own email...looks like they do | |
| darthfeces 2003-07-03, 11:15 am |
| let me know when you get it ....
i'll do the same
the pdf off the cert support link says it all. | |
| darthfeces 2003-07-07, 11:19 am |
| got my email ......
now waiting for snail mail ... | |
|
| This is pretty cool though-another set of letters and no extra work!!! We sure got a lot of mileage out of passing that one SAFE exam after having the CQS. | |
| mikop 2003-07-11, 11:07 pm |
| hmmm... you know, I received the email a few days ago and didn't pay attention to it... just thought it is funny to get a few more letters for tests I tooks ages ago... but heh, upon further investigation, esepcially that pdf file darth mentioned and this looks pretty neat.
now... sep 30 is coming up soon... time to actually read the SAFE whitepaper or else I am gonna miss basically a free ride and couple more letters... :/ | |

Information Systems Security (INFOSEC) Professional - Kit Jul. 03, 2003 Jul. 14, 2003 No | |
|
| Information Systems Security (INFOSEC) Professional - Kit Jul. 10, 2003 Jul. 23, 2003 No
I guess I should receive it in a week or so.
Have you gotten yours? I wonder if cisco would be the issuer and note on the paper that this is on behalf of CNSS. | |
| darthfeces 2003-07-24, 10:56 am |
| just got it
it's just an official letter saying I
have this accredidation | |
|
| I got mine last week. I was surprised to find that the certificate was just a letter and really doesn't even have a name!!! Oh well. We did get a lot of mileage out of that one Safe Exam! | |
|
| heh got mine,
that has to be the most unimpressive piece of any kind of official documentation  but that doesn't matter, I got another I, 2 S and a P out of it :P | |
|
| I have got also A4 paper size paper certificate, I was under beleive that It will be a certificate like CSSP or CSS1.
But who care at least cisco says in your certification history that you have certificate for infosec, enough to show your employer or use for any official business need.
hmmmm |
