Re: CISSP

Hi ,
I do not know why they require a BS degree since not even ISC2 (the  
CISSP givers) require that. they require at least 4 years provable  
experience in the Security industry.
I do not have a BS and i got my CISSP quite a few years ago with no  
problems. I wonder if you shouldn't take a CISSP track from somewhere  
else?

weird IMHO.
