I will have to agree with the importance of getting your CISSP. I have never put much weight on certifications, but the CISSP is important these days.

When I was consulting, lots of gigs were not available to me because I did not have my CISSP. Ignore the fact that I have over 10 years experience and have lectured nation wide! No CISSP, No gig. I would recommend getting the CISSP. Robert J.

The CISSP isn't necessarily for management, but security consultants. Both are vendor neutral certifications. And as far as how much weight each one has, I think anyone you asked would say the CISSP definitely has more weight in the industry. good luck. ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
