Well in 2017, I did 5 certs (VCP renewal, Veeam VMCE, SSCP, Sonicwall CSSA and CISSP) Then even if I planned a big 2018 year, I did nothing certwise.. Now 2019, I renewed my VCP, and now looking for Azure Certs, ITIL, CYsa+ or other more practical security certs.
Update to the update : Provisionally passed CISSP-ISSAP as well. Guess I might as well run down the ISSEP early next year and close it out as well.
Congrats on passing the CISSP concentrations (ISAAP & ISSMP). Please could you do a review on the ISSAP, what materials you used, how you went about in your studies and when you wrote the exam?
Am def going for it arnd mid-year time and want to gauge if am in the right path for this cert.
Thanks.
ISSAP was relatively straight forward in regards to mildly technical security architecture questions. I read the CBK in roughly 10 days and tested. I took the ISSMP on Dec 1, the ISSAP Dec 28th and the ISSEP Jan 24th, reading the CBK for each over 7-10 days prior to each test. I felt they were about the same difficulty if not easier than the regular CISSP with a good amount of cross over knowledge. For the CISSP I did 52 minutes/100 questions and for each concentration exam roughly 56-90 minutes.
Comments
CISSP-3 concentrations, all AWS Certs
CIPP/US if I can fit it in

As for the rest of 2019, undecided. Last year was MCSA 2016(3 tests).
What resources and books did you use for your study for CISSP
Once eJPT is done (in no particular order): CISA, CISM, OSCP
