Re: CISSP

[Tim Shea <tim () tshea net>]

A College or University degree is not required for the CISSP (i don't  
have one and I hold the CISSP certification as do many others without  
degrees).

Could you provide a link to where you found this information?

https://www.isc2.org/cgi-bin/content.cgi?page=813 for the FAQ on the  
CISSP.
