CISSP- Boson Practice Exans
I started to notice a week or so ago that I was getting high scores within my Boson CISSP Exam Simulator. I was thinking, I know I didn't score that high.

Understanding CPE Requirements
As of today, I can officially say I'm a CISSP (Finally!) My question is in regards to earning CPEs by watching webcasts. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe I can watch 40, 1 hour webcasts from SANS to satisfy the annual CPE requirements. If so, what about webcasts from Brighttalk? Is it only the ISC2 sponsored ones…
