CISSP Passed

Glad that one is in my rear view mirror!

I took the SANS 414 online, read both of Conrad's books and did some cccure and exam cram practice exams.

Congrats and good luck with the endorsement process! If you are near Phoenix, the local ISC(2) chapter puts on a pretty good quarterly meeting that gets you 5 CPEs.

It's a 5-hour meeting?

wes allen

Yep. I just moved here and went to the one last week - but pretty cool for sure. Three speakers, plus chapter biz and a pretty decent lunch thrown in. Plus, they log the CPE's for you.

Thanks all. I'm definitely much better off for having found this community.

I live in Tucson but will absolutely start making it up for those. I assume now that I have my CISSP I will get access to the meeting schedule, secret handshake and underground tunnels?

Once you receive your number, hit up their website - https://isc2chapter-phoenix.org/ $30 a year of ISC(2) members. Next meeting is Aug. 8th. I was surprised by the turnout - maybe 40-50 people. Three solid speakers - one on big data, one on advanced malware, and the last by a local FBI agent, who also holds a CISSP, about some cybercrime stuff, and an interesting background on some of the Lulzsec investigation. All in all, not a bad way to spend an afternoon.
