It is doubtful the censors will allow this to make the list anyways..
IMHO/FWIW the CISSP certification meant well, it really did. However
Iit has noticably it fleshed out into much less than what was intended
this
I am sure. Don't get me wrong the 10 domains of knowledge are valid.
However, it is a little offensive for someone with say over a decade plus
of security experience in the domains to find this the only criteria of
validation
for some. (Shall I say a false sense of security? ;-)
It makes one want to avoid corps that use this as their exclusive
skill validation tool..
It has become largely like the MCSE paper program..
It has become a little mucky muck ..
It has become a cash cow..
