Another Certification Bites the Dust

While we are on the certification bandwagon I must apologize for the lack of material over the course of the last several days. I have been guilty of competing in the certification dance.

On to the news. Trusecure was recently sold off to Verizon (via CyberTrust). With this transaction happening the TICSA certification has been shut down. Now this might not be the most recognized certification around but it did hold some value. The nice thing is ISC is allowing holders of the certification to get there SSCP.

Here is the message from Verizon/CyberTrust/Trusecure:
