CISSP VS. CCSP

M@rv1n

I ask this question in the CCSP forum also. Which is more useful to get. I work with the DOD, and they use primarly CISCO equiptment, and i personally feel the CCSP is easier being that i work in that enviornment, but it will give me a warm and fuzzy having the CISSP. I need guidance. Im lookin at a 3 month 4+ hour days 7 days a week studying for both. So any advice is welcomed.

If you already work as a network tech in a Cisco shop, the CCSP is obviously a better ticket for you to get first. However, if you are in contention with other CCSPs for a job or promotion, having the CISSP should give you a nice edge over your competition. If you don't currently work directly with Cisco equipment, but do have years of InfoSec experience, then you'll find the CISSP to be a better choice.
