QUESTION POSED ON: 04 October 2002
I am a CISA, and I believe I can clear CISSP. I have never been a security
professional, as I have been a general manager in a small company.
However, I have strugled enough with my systems and therefore know about
Windows settings and configurations. I have also fixed my own systems after
virus infections, using guidance available at symantec.com. I am also a
reseller for Web security certificates. I have overview experience of
programming and database, having done some strong programming using C under
DOS and followed that by learning Java, HTML etc.
However, even after all this, somehow I feel all my systems are vulnerable
to hacking and I can do very little about it. I think computers have
become too complicated to be managed with any degree of guarantee. My
question to you is whether it is possible for me to become an infosec
professional without first becoming a computer engineer?
