[Dshield] SANS going to proctored exams?

[Clement Dupuis]

Good day,

It is not the Certification itself that is getting ISO Certified but the
process and management behind it.

Most large organization from Cisco, to Microsoft, the the EC-Coucil are now
seeking certification as well.  See the list at:

Take care
