[geeks] CISSP , SSCP , and GIAC

[Michael A. Turner]

	All,
		
	Alrighty Certification discussion time. I recently ran across the
three certs in the subject heading nad have become interested in them. CISSP
and SSCP are offered by (ISC) are supposed to be security Certs saying that
you have a clue when it comes to security on both a network and on systems.
The Interesting thing about the CISSP cert is that you have to , in addition
to the test, get someone to vouche for you.
	The GIAC certs are being offered in the same area by SANS and cover
almost a dozen topics also. 

	Does anyone have any experience with any of these certs and are they
worth a real damn. I have seen the CISSP one in job postings, but only a
couple. Anyone got any opinion on them?
