Opinion on Associations, Certifications, or Organizations

Does Associations, Certifications, or Organizations in general add value to our self, work, or advocacy? The answer is never simple.

One Defining Criteria

Is the body of knowledge of the association, certification, or organization relevant to the time and trend?

The field of information security is ever evolving and changing. It is only fitting that any association, certification, or organization that one chooses to subscribe to must be ever evolving and changing as well. It must be able to match the rapid changes of the industry.

You might be thinking but this does not answer the question posed. Well, use the criteria above to the association, certification, or organization every six months. If it does not pass that criteria, then it is of very little value to us.

Further Discussion

I do not think that relevance to the time and trend needs further explanation or exposition, but if you feel otherwise, your thoughts and discussion is always welcome down in the comments below. I'd very much love to read/listen to different and conflicting views.

Readers, the analogies is meant to be simple not because I think you will not be able to understand the technical aspects of it. I simply didn't see enough post using simple and real world analogies with all the buzz going around about cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrency - it is a "currency" based on a crypto. Crypto means secret or hidden. Currency is a ...
