in SSCP
Just got my score this afternoon. icon_cool.gif I think the test, in general, was easier than the CISSP. Then again, this is with the benefit of being on the other side of all the material from studying for the CISSP.

I studied from the ISC2 seminar materials, which are presently the only material out there.

I'm headed down the Cisco security route next, if anyone has any sage advice...

    That's pretty sweet! I'm not sure if I've seen anyone else here with any of the specializations.

    Congratulations!

    Do you have a CCNA? That's a prerequisite for any of the security work (unless you go right for the IE).

    I have nothing for Cisco at present. I'm thinking CCNA Security -> CCSP -> CCIE Security.

    You'll need to start out with a CCNA then: CCNA Security - Career Certifications & Paths - Cisco Systems

    Most people recommend professional-level R&S knowledge for advanced security studies as well. YMMV though.

    Yup, that's where I'm headed. Leaning on work presently to buy me some bits for a lab :)

    Congratz on passing the exam for a very rare cert indeed! icon_thumright.gif

    What's the Annual Maintenance Fee for the CISSP-ISSAP? I'm already forking over $150/yr for the CISSP/SSCP combo. I was looking at the CISSP-ISSEP, but I'm not sure if I want to pay the additional AMF for it.

    It looks like they've added another $35/yr for it. Not too terrible.

    Congrats Jason icon_thumright.gif

    Can you tell us how do you use the CISSP-ISSAP in your job ?

    or put another way, how much InfoSec work do you do in your job and can you relate your day-to-day tasks with the CBK domains of CISSP/ISSAP ?


    I'm curious, because I'm interested in CISSP and rarely do I get the chance to do any InfoSec work....so I'm just wondering :)

    My job is in information security, so the material directly relates, for the most part. The only domain that we don't deal with much is physical security, and we still poke at that a bit when doing penetration testing.
