Re: CISSP Reputation
Interesting. I see plenty of infosec jobs outside of DoD require the CISSP (especially contractor positions). Usually, Federal positions states that they highly desire the CISSP. In summary, just get the CISSP :) because for the most part it is worth obtaining. As for the CISSP concentrations, I would suggest only getting… -
Re: CISSP Reputation
For the millionth time, look at job advertisements for positions you want to fill, if the majority of them desire candidates with CISSP, then yes it's worth getting. You DON'T need CISSP to get any infosec job (outside of DoD8570), and the role it is best suited for is Security Manager for a medium-large enterprise. The… -

CISSP Reputation
I just had a conversation with a friend who made a comment that people should not get their CISSP. He actually passed the exam a while ago but didn't have the years of experience quit yet so he is an associate. I didn't go into detail as to why, other than I told him that it has opened some doors for me and that I feel… -

Re: CISSP Reputation
This has been discussed a million times on here If investing $650 in a cert helps you get a better paying job then it has value it doesn't matter if the test ask you to colour the picture of a face.

Re: CISSP Reputation

I review a lot of articles and magazines and when it comes to the topic of Top 10 IT certifications to hold, CISSP is always on the list, and always close to the top.… -
Re: CISSP Reputation
Well, CISSP reputation is certainly better than of some other certs not to be named... They do a good job producing high quality questions, battle brain **** and manage to cover "all security" which is a pretty hard thing to do. BTW I voted for Kennedy, Wim Remes and a japanese granddaddy last year. Was very glad to see… -
Re: CISSP Reputation
(*Yawn*) The CISSP has become nothing more than the required piece of paper to pass HR and recruiter filters - nothing more. I routinely tell recruiters that if you give me the book and materials on Friday I will pass whatever cert come Monday morning. Tech certs at least. Back in college I have written advanced papers in… -
Re: CISSP Reputation
Just my opinion only.... I equate the CISSP certification to a college degree. Was it difficult to get? Not really. Did it cost me money and time? Yes. I don't think this certification is as exclusive or as highly regarded as some think, and this is the same with someone with a MS or BS degree. Just because you have these…
