CISSP #'s

RanMic

I've looked and found different numbers but does anyone have a general idea of how many CISSP there are in the world? I'm just curious.

Thanks in advance.

Not sure if there's a flat out # listed, but here's the regions.

Got bored and ran through one time with the calculator. 86,243.... maybe. Could've easily fat fingered it.

86,283 according to Excel SUM.

Whatever, man. My 10 key skills are tight. I demand a recount.

Has the number of SSCP's hit 1000 yet? I haven't check in quite a while.

The mid 80's is what I was seeing also, but I figured I must be missing data somewehre. I thought there were a lot more. Thanks for everyone's input.

That's 'cause we're such a unique bunch!

Amongst six billion people? Virtually!

In context with the thread title...

Do you guys know how to look up someone to verify the CISSP status?

I would say that we are a VERY unique bunch. 7,000,000,000 in the world and 86,000 CISSP's means that there is an average of one CISSP for every 83,000 people in this world. Show me a mathematician who wouldn't consider that a unique number and I will eat my hat.
