I swear you must be on Cisco's payroll, I have been doing IA
for the past 5 years and I am also the IAM at my installation, so please sell
that bag of beans elsewhere. Since you like definitions let me give you what
Cisco defines CCIE as;
Quote:
The Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert (CCIE) certification is accepted
worldwide as the most prestigious networking certification in the industry.
Network Engineers holding an active Cisco CCIE certification are recognized for
their expert network engineering skills and mastery of Cisco products and
solutions. The CCIE community has established a reputation of leading the
networking industry in deep technical networking knowledge and are deployed
into the most technically challenging network assignments.
I have continued to tell you to get off your singular focus, IA is about so
much more than networking, you honestly do not need to have this much depth of
understanding to be an IA guy you are talking out of your fourth point of
contact. CCIE is purely networking, yes security in networking but it has
nothing to do with database security, a simple job search of the term CCIE your
results are for network engineers (Often Senior), maybe a Sr Network Security
Engineer. Search CISSP jobs your results are more in line with security and
Information Assurance or auditing. Now with respect to CCNA or CCNP not being a
prerequisite to CCIE, I was wrong. See the difference between you and I is I do
not need an overwhelming amount of proof for me to admit I am wrong, and I do
not change the subject and dance around. Stay on the focus CCIE is a much too
involved certification for IA as its principle focus is networking.
Definition of IA is (according to

Quote:
Commonly these individuals are responsible for
everything from the firewall and anti-virus solution to physical security and
incident response to
security architecture. You can think of them as the jack of all trades, master
of none, security
generalist and IA point man. These positions are very similar to the small IT
shop, all-in-one IT
position, the Swiss Army knife of IT. It is common for these types of positions
to develop out of
necessity from small IT shops and can even form small (five or fewer) IA shops.
But then again I need to be careful quoting SANS to you as that may not be accredited to your standard.
