Re: is CASP (CompTIA Advanced Security Practitioner) really much simpler than CISSP?

[Seth Misenar <seth.misenar () gmail com>]

I took the CASP last fall in preparation for co-authoring a new SANS prep course (course is set to beta in Boston in 
June).  For background, I also co-authored Syngress CISSP Study Guide.

In my opinion the CASP could either be easier or more difficult than the CISSP, depending on your background. The 
target audience of each is different. The CISSP is geared towards managers, while the CASP is targeted for technical 
folks.  If your background is technical, and I expect it is if you are on this list, then I would anticipate you 
finding the CASP to be easier than the CISSP.

One other thing.  In my opinion, the CASP questions were pretty clear and straightforward.  This doesn't make the 
answers necessarily easy, but at least you don't have to worry so much about struggling to make sense of the questions.

Hope this helps,
Seth
