Hello, Those of you who have CISSPs or are otherwise members of ISC2 will have recieved notification already For those on the list who are not members, ISC2 has issued a clarification and has instigated changes to the certification from 01st Oct 2007. Firstly, the professional experiance requirement has been clarified. CISSP professional experience includes experiance in one or more of the ten domains of the (ISC)² CISSP® CBK® of the type which has been expanded with the following requirements: * Work requiring special education or intellectual attainment, usually including a liberal education or college degree. * Work requiring habitual memory of a body of knowledge shared with others doing similar work. * Management of projects and/or other employees. * Supervision of the work of others while working with a minimum of supervision of one's self. * Work requiring the exercise of judgment, management decision-making, and discretion. * Work requiring the exercise of ethical judgment (as opposed to ethical behavior). * Creative writing and oral communication. * Teaching, instructing, training and the mentoring of others. * Research and development. * The specification and selection of controls and mechanisms (i.e. identification and authentication technology) (does not include the mere operation of these controls). It is also noted that: "Valid experience includes information systems (IS) security-related work performed as a practitioner, auditor, consultant, investigator or instructor, that requires IS security knowledge and involves the direct application of that knowledge." Thus there is no need to depate the possibility of security guards having professional experiance. They do not have IS experiance. Next, from 1st October 2007, the requirement has increased such that "anyone who passes a CISSP, CAP, or SSCP exam to have their qualifications endorsed by another (ISC)² credential holder." The domains are also increased such that the applicant needs to have experiance in at least 2 of the 10 domains. Please also note that the certifiation requires "direct full-time security professional work experience". This is not part time, as a part of the role or any other like or similar situation. I hope that this clears up a few issues and adds a little to the value of the Certificate.
