My thoughts on preparing for and acquiring the (ISC)2 CISSP (Certified Information System Security Professional) certification. Before deciding on pursuing the CISSP i considered a few other certifications including CEH, CISA, & CISM, however the CISSP seemed like the best option when i started to consider the value of the certification. In many circles the CISSP is considered the gold standard of information security certifications. Many government agencies along with companies recognize and require the CISSP credential for employment in certain positions relating to all aspects of information security. After reading more about this certification i decided i wanted to join the thousands of people that have already achieved it.
