In my honest opinion it is a smart move.Thanks for the article. It seems like the Department of Homeland Security is really trying to beef up on cybersecurity.

"Expert" does not mean "Highest Skilled" in hiring today. "Expert" means "lowest cost". The government will find 1000 newly minted CISSPs willing to work for minimum wage. Don't believe me? Go read DOD 8570. Security+ is considered a security certification, but the CCIE Security is not.

One definition of the former appears here: http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/c/cyberspace.html Since "cybersecurity" would presumably then mean security in (and at the perimeter of) "cyberspace", DHS would not appear to be out of line. Sorry if the culture the actual world doesn't conform to that of Principia Cybernetica, but I think you'll have to learn to live with it. At least until you either (a) get the Department of Motor Vehicles to change its name to Department of Engine Vehicles or (b) ban engines in favor of motors -- the latter seems far more probable at the moment.

So in all good faith you should contact the ISC2 now and let them revoke your cert. Well, if you hold the CISSP and you are willing to state that
