Keeping Up with the Black Hats - 13 Mar 2002

Keeping Up with the Black Hats - 08 Mar 2002 2

Most certifications demonstrate only that you knew a product or an OS when you passed the exams. However, as new technology emerges and software vendors release updates and new versions, exams can become outdated quickly. My MCSE certification will be 8 years old in June. I had to renew the certification in 1996 and 1997 after Microsoft released Windows NT 4.0, but I didn't start the Windows 2000 renewal process until 2000. I still have one exam to go. By the time I'm finished, almost 5 years will have passed since I earned my NT 4.0 certifications.
