Re: CISSP? Now or later?
There's still great benefit in studying for a certification without taking the exam. In doing so you will get a good idea if InfoSec is really what you want to do for a living. The top two study books for the CISSP exam are currently: Amazon.com: Official (ISC)2 Guide to the CISSP CBK, Second Edition ((ISC)2 Press)… -
Re: CISSP? Now or later?
Someone who has passed the CISSP and lacks the requisite work experience is still an Associate of (ISC)². The only drawbacks are the following: * You are not a CISSP until you have the minimum experience required and unfortunately will not be in the same pay-band as a credentialed CISSP (much like articling law school… -
Re: CISSP? Now or later?
Well, the position is being created, and I'm being promoted into it, it's not a question of whether or not that is happening, or if I should persue that, really my question was could I get CISSP now or not.

You have six (6) years I believe to obtain that experience and submit your endorsement to get your certification. PS, the two books that JDMurray… -
Re: CISSP? Now or later?
Thanks for the suggestions guys, it does sound like I should be able to pull off the exam, it's just the endorsment at this point that I think I may have an issue with. I wonder how the company's clients would be with not a TRUE CISSP, but just the associate level for a while until i get that experience necessary to obtain… -
Re: CISSP? Now or later?
I am in a similar situation. I also recently completed the Security+ exam. After realizing how much combined experience I had with the 10 domains needed for the CISSP I decided to go for it. There are still some weak areas I am running into, mainly Application Security and the details of Cryptography but that's only a… -
Re: CISSP? Now or later?
I think it would be best to make sure you get someone who has experience in the IT Security field before your company really dives into it. If you don't have any experience really, it might help to get someone who has that experience so you can learn from them. Security+ is a good certification to start off with, but…
