I don't really go along with this post. I think the title is a good eye-catcher, but inaccurate. Terry seems biased toward working on the cutting edge of embedded firmware and I agree that is really important work. I also agree that a certification like the CISSP (I have one of those) won't prepare you for that sort of work. I'll wildly speculate that some potential Tactical Network Solutions customers are asking about DoD 8570.1 security certifications. That may be a mistake on their part for something as far down in the weeds as embedded firmware solutions or the Centrifuge IoT Security Platform. On the other hand, some of Terry's customers likely hold those 8570.1 certifications, so he might want to be careful about rubbing in how they wasted their time in acquiring them. If he takes a look at SI-7 in the System and Information Integrity control family (found in NIST Special Publication 800-53) he might find some selling points for his products. A certified security engineer who had done a RMF audit would know that ;)
