CISSP certification is not easy – it shouldn’t be. It takes months of study, even for those who are on the technical side of information security – system or network engineers, analysts, forensics, and scientists. The CISSP is not just a technical certification, it is a management level certification as well. It took time, study, and dedication to get to where you are today – devote that same attention to the CISSP and you will be successful. The good aspect of the CISSP is that it builds upon what you already know whether you’re in a technical or management career field; therefore, it won’t take you years to obtain. Seek out a superb training organization and engage with an expert instructor who can bring to reality all of the concepts and terms associated with the CISSP – the instructor will challenge you over a week of class, but you will gain an enormous appreciation for the broad scope of the CISSP and the details required to pass the exam and obtain the CISSP.
