Passed the GIAC Certified Intrusion Analyst (GCIA)

I've been studying for the GCIA for the last month or so and I just took the test and passed the proctored version ;-). I went the onDemand route since there wasn't a conference that I wanted to attend though I am attending SANS 2008 in Orlando for my GCIH. I have to admit this test was pretty difficult but the information I learned was invaluable. I haven't had as much hands on in the area of intrusion dection as one may like but this course definitely brought me up to par. The lectures that I was able to listen to on my iPod were by Mike Poor who is a great speaker in my opinion. I would recommend this certification to anyone wanting to better themselves in the area of Information Security.
