Hi,
I am planning to sit for CISSP exam however something that caught my eye and im not sure what to do about it. I would like to get opinion from others
Before i can sit for exam i must be able clear all the following requirements as per the site
https://www.isc2.org/Register-for-Exam/Background-Qualifications
Have you ever been convicted of a felony, a crime based on dishonesty (felony or misdemeanor involving lying) or a Court Martial in military service, or is there a felony charge now pending against you? (Omit minor traffic violations and offenses prosecuted in juvenile court.)
Have you ever been involved, or publicly identified, with criminal hackers or hacking?
Have you ever had a professional license, certification, membership or registration revoked, or have you ever been censured or disciplined by any professional organization or government agency?
Have you ever been known by any other name, alias, or pseudonym? (Omit user identities or screen names with which you were publicly identified. Also omit name changes due to marriage or adoption.
I should be good in all except name change. Now when i was 6 months old i had a name change from what it is now(firstname). That name change was in my home country and not even in Canada. So i HARDLY doubt that it is even in the records here anywhere. (although during migration i was asked for Birth certificate which had that name and so i had to provide all the documentation on the name change)
But in all honesty, i have had security clearance, multiple background checks done in past for emplacements and no one has even brought it to my attention that "we see a different name on your file or background".
With all that being said, do you guys think its worth the hassle or even worth mentioning to ISC2 that i had a different name when i was 6 months old? Knowing that may disqualify me as potential candidate as per the point above?
Do they have a way to find out somehow and/OR if they do what could be the potential consequence if i dont mention it right out.
