Passed CISSP 10/24 - disappointing as expected

Finished the exam in just over 3 hours (first attempt). I was on a roll, so I only took one 10 minute break. All told, I spent about 2.5 weeks of solid study. As for material: - Infosec Institute videos: employer provided, not very comprehensive. I wouldn't really recommend them unless you are confident with the material…

From where I sit, security is a pain in the ass to the business. I watch everyday, customers try to figure out ways around IT because:
1) IT is usually a bunch of premadonna ego thumpers who are too altruistic to see the reality of funding, sales, and cashflow
2) IT is to busy to work with the business because they are understaffed or not properly allocated
3) IT doesn't know how to communicate business outcomes and understand the ramifications of the policies they try to enforce.

I say these things with myself being an IT focused person who is very pro-security.

I hear that. The organizations I work with have plenty of funding but squander it. The federal and financial sectors see security differently than most other industries, and for good reason.
