ICSA, UL, CC....oh my! Do product certs mean anything?

Many (e.g., ISC2) certified pros will know CC (Common Criteria) for U.S. federal govt systems, but ICSA Labs (Verizon) & UL (Underwriters Labs) provide CC-like ratings too.

Who cares?  Well, these certs can be a benchmark, though many products that have achieved C&A ratings have been found to have backdoors.  So, they're imperfect, but better than nothing.
