Re: CISSP without experience

Varun,

It is true you can take the CISSP test and pass it without the hands on 
experience but you will not
be granted the certificate until you complete the required experience.

As for an employer treating this as a CISSP cert. I wouldn't think so 
because experience is part
of what makes this certification valid.

Good luck,
Dave
