in CISSP
First, a little background about myself. Currently, I hold the Security + CE, SSCP, CISSP, and CISM (once the endorsement process finishes). In my current role, I'm an IA engineer within the DoD and was an IAO within the DoD previously. For this reason, I feel the CISSP-ISSEP would be a useful certification. However, I'm not sure there is really any ROI besides using the certification as a way to sharpen my current skills and knowledge. Any current ISSEP holders have any input? I know it's a challenging certification, and I'd plan to take it within the next six months. Thanks for any input!

There are jobs that ask for a specialization of CISSP, most of the time I don't think they're too picky though. I believe any of the 3 specializations qualify for IASAE level III, most of the stuff I've seen asking for that seems to be Army for some reason. I'm not sure why nobody else asks for IASAE kevel III - probably because it's not actively being audited.EJMADELINE wrote: »I'm not sure there is really any ROI besides using the certification as a way to sharpen my current skills and knowledge.
