Announcing LAMN: Legion Against Meaningless certificatioNs

[joe at joeteff.com (Joe Teff)]

I notice certs like CISSP when hiring. It says the person has a basic 
understanding of all IS security areas. Nothing more. If someone can't pass 
the CISSP then I have to wonder why.

...then I'd say you have an overly simplistic view of the world.



Anyone who believes that a credential automatically conveys some magical

knowledge that you didn't have before is just as overly-simplistic as

someone who disparages all credentials equally. It just isn't a black and

white world.
