I have a CISSP and I do NOT have a B.S. I think that was an old CISSP requirement. They do require some experience in the field and that experience can be shortened if you are good at the B.S. part;) -----Original Message----- From: listbounce () securityfocus com [mailto:listbounce () securityfocus com] On Behalf Of offset Sent: Thursday, November 30, 2006 11:21 PM To: pen-test () securityfocus com Subject: Re: CISSP On Tue, Nov 28, 2006 at 07:27:51PM -0000, jlehman () mail esignal com wrote:
I was going to take the SANS mentor class for the CISSP. But I have
just discovered that they are requiring a B.S. degree, which I don't have. I have been in the I.T. field as a sys admin/telecommunications/pseudo security person for 10 years now. I have achieved SANS silver GCIH and CGNA in the past year and a SCP (snort certified professional).
I don’t have a B.S. because I decided to be a chef,a nd got a
culinary arts degree. I did that for 15+yeard and made it to my goal, but I make much more today than I did as a restaurateur.
So people, should I continue to peruse the SANS track, or somehow get
that B.S and get the CISSP eventually? I see many job postings that are asking for CISSP certs. Disturbing that a BS degree is required. I know a lot of bright people without degrees. Mostly due to lack of challenge, rode the 90's tech boom, etc. -- offset - ubersecurity org -- Got Tor?
