Re: CISSP

[killy <killfactory () gmail com>]

There are a handful of personnel with CISSP in my org that do not have B.S.
They tend to BS, but they don't have a B.S. :-)

I would look elsewhere for the refresher.

Research Shon Harris (isc^2). Most of the personnel where I work,
studied with Shon. They all passed the first time. It may be worth a
look see.

Cheers..............~
