Security Ripcord

The results are in. Just click on view results below (there is no easy way to force the results or I would have) or checkout the new Security Ripcord Polls page. For those who don’t want to click it was a tie between “No” and “Yes, if my employer paid for it.” “Yes, I would pay for it myself” did not get a single vote.

Unfortunately the results reflect what I recently found out with my attempt to Mentor a SANS GSEC here in Corpus Christi. People are not going to pay for this type of training out of their pocket. So, unfortunately my first attempt at being a SANS Mentor was not successful. I am going to try and get out a little more in the Corpus Christi community before I try to spin up a class again. I think I just need to come to the realization that there are not enough large businesses here in Corpus Christi to support this type of training event. Everybody wants the knowledge but they all tend to balk when they see the price tag associated with the training and certification.

I would like to thank Martin and Michael for their attempts to get the word out for me. It was very much appreciated.

Go forth and do good things,
Cutaway
