Cheaters be Advised, Cisco Will Catch You

In a recent article on TrainingIndustry.com, Rick Gregory reports on new exam security measures by Cisco and Pearson VUE intended to slap the cuffs on those who attempt to cheat or compromise exam security. In addition to the candidate identification program GoCertify has reported on in the past, LINK.Cisco and VUE have implemented an impressive exam forensics program that captures and analyzes every keystroke during a certification exam, including time spent on each question and much more. The resulting log is analyzed and compared to a storehouse of data profiles that have been developed based on age, sex, country, first time test takers, exam retakers, and numerous other criteria. If something doesn't measure up, Gregory reports, the exam taker may face civil and criminal charges. See what else Gregory has to report at TrainingIndustry.com.
