Re: CISSP is Worthless?
No, a CISSP should have knowledge of the domains covered by the CISSP certification as defined by the (ISC)2. If you want additional knowledge not covered by the CISSP (e.g., network troubleshooting, pen testing, programming, soldering and screwdrivers) then you have gone beyond the need for someone with only a CISSP… -

Re: CISSP is Worthless?
The CISSP is a requirement for many jobs, especially in the DoD world. However, the CISSP (IAT III/IAM III) is typically a requirement of more advanced positions and not entry-level positions, which will require a security+ (IAT II/IAM I). You could always study for the CISSP and get the Associate of (ISC)2 for CISSP, but… -
Re: CISSP is Worthless?
Its been a few weeks now that i've been studying for cissp and from reading a few chapters it seems to me that all the CISSP does is allow managers and security specialist to have a conversation about security related topics.(speaking the same language) but the problem is that most HR system scan resumes for "CISSP" if not… -

The CISSP got me… -

Re: CISSP is Worthless?
I really don't understand why companies, and IT professionals boast and praise the CISSP so much. Currently I work at a company that performs a multitude of services (managed security, and red team activities) yet 2 of the CISSPs i work with have no scripting, programing, hacking, or network engineering experience. They… -
Re: CISSP is Worthless?
Were the CISSPs that you mentioned hired in Pen test roles? If not, why be surprised when they don't do much pentesting? Because Security is holistic. Ok, maybe you've met a few CISSPs who couldn't tell a SYN packet from a hot pocket, but i've met very disgustingly smart CISSPs who can be technical from end to end and do… -
Re: CISSP is Worthless?
+1 to this, sometimes the hiring manager may had no say at the IT Security job post requirements or the HR simply mess it ups via copy and pasting. This also show something about the organization culturally. If you walk into an interview with CISSP being the only recognize cert, then you should consider the company. Bear…
