The goal for the next year is to pass the GIAC GSE (GIAC Security Expert) by probably visiting Vegas (again!) next year. The GSE has a few pre-requisites in the form of GCIH, GCIA, GSE and 2 ‘electives’ (other GIAC exams). Since I passed the GPEN exam which will be an elective, I need to focus on getting the 3 cores done which will probably be GCIH first, then tackle GSEC and GCIA.

As all this is self funded i’ll likely just be reading books on the various topics rather than the actual GIAC material, but we’ll see how that pans out.
