    CISSP is more Managerial. Some people in the office I work in have that cert.... it is nothing like CEH. CEH deals with Ethical hacking, Network protection etc... CISSP teaches about IT risk and management, and security from a managers standpoint. Also CEH really does not teach much about hacking, it just deals with the methods and tools... It depends on where you want to go... but CEH after CISSP is not worth it...
    What certs do you have now and what are you working toward? Do you have the fundamentals down packed?

    I started in Infosec about 9y ago. At the moment, I am in between mngt and technical working with both. Cissp cover both, wide, but not deep! As an info sec expert I feel like CEH would give me deeper technical knowledges. I don't want to become pentester, but having deeper knowledges to take better decisions.

    Its nothing wrong with studying CEH material... but that is mainly dealing with hacking, and network security and learning how to use Kali Linux, metasploit, etc...

    Have you checked out the eJPT, eCPPT or OSCP along with the CEH?

    If it isn't too late, I recommend skip CEH and go OSCP. Light years of difference. OSCP is tougher and doesn't get as widespread recognition, but for those who know you'll earn MUCH more respect and will have learned a lot more

    Currently studying for C|EH.

    IMO, there is alot of overlapping material between C|EH and CISSP, as I've studied to take this cert a few years ago. Once I successfully complete C|EH, I will turn my attention to CISSP.

    On point with this description. A lot of HR people don't know the difference between CEH and OSCP, just that CEH is part of the DoD 8570.1 which requires a CEH for some positions instead of OSCP. From what i've heard OSCP is way more respected by the technical people.

    Cleared CISSP in August , CISM in December and CEH in April.I am not OCSP guy for sure icon_smile.gif so CEH did help me bridge the technical ethical hacking concepts esp.The labs.So my suggestion is to go for it if you would like to understand the technical concepts with ethical hacking.Example : We know as a manager how to remediate poodle , heart bleed , bash etc., CEH labs helped me understand how it actually happens with the help of Kali linux , packet capture ,meterpreter payloads etc.This learning is not waste for sure if you are in managerial work , helps to bridge the gap with the tech resources you are managing, not that it's mandatory though because i have been managing them for the past 6 years without the cert but its fun discussing the topics.

    I just cleared the CISSP and am taking the CEH for the same reason listed above. I have registered for the CISM in December.
    Give a hacker an exploit, and they will have access for a day, BUT teach them to phish, and they will have access for the rest of their lives!

    Have: CISSP, CISM, CRISC, CGEIT, ITIL-F
