CISSP Cert a Stretch for IT Auditor?
Recently, I had decided that the CISSP was going to be my 4th certification. I was discussing that decision with a coworker who is a security practitioner and former IT Auditor. He felt that it was a stretch for an IT Auditor to go after the CISSP; that is was almost unjustifiable. It confuses me that he would say that… -

That is my non-scientific test to see what the market is looking for. Print screen and send to coworker. As stated above, if you satisfy the…
