Hey Boys !
How credible are Check Points’ CCCA and CCSE in US ? I did a search at monster.com and it finds only 200 results for these two. On the other hand CheckPoint claims they have installations in 100% of the Fortune 100.
How it compares to ISA and Cisco ?
Hum ?

By the way, those links come in mighty handy for studying for the security addon (plus lots more), thanks for reminding me to visit, as after the exams, it tends to get rusty if you don't do it every day.

They're probably useful for companies that use Checkpoint. I have yet to come across one (we use SonicWall), but they're definitely out there. I got the CCSA, but didn't maintain it since we don't use it.
Nope - can't get tired of learning, because I want to keep being able to teach it! :)

We're starting a practice exam company (since I've already got 4 years under my belt creating practice exams).
Most places I've been tend to use third-party solutions. I'm sure ISA's used out there, though.

Of course it is. We worked in a profitable copmany for 4 years doing exactly that thing. Their quality started to suffer, and so we decided to leave, then start our own company after a year.
Besides, if we don't create a new company with high-quality practice exam products... what will you use to study? Braindumps? Of course not. So... it's worth it for us to create a practice exam company on *many* levels.
