I want to get more information about CISSP.

1. Can i self-study CISSP as well as CISA?
2. It normaly take how many time(s) to prepare from zero to attend the examination?
3. Is it difficult if i am going to self-study?

Many thanks.

Barry,

I hold both of these certificates, and I earned both of them through self study. How much time it takes to get there depends on a number of factors, most of all, your level of experience. If you’re a security professional and are actively working in the field, and have a bit of background, then you can probably pass the CISSP exam with appr. 20-30 hours of self study.

If you’re a complete newbie, you’d probably need 180-200 hrs of self study time. Keep in mind, however: to obtain the CISSP certification, you not only need to pass the exam. You also need to proof professional experience. Difficult to do, if you’ve never worked in the field.

So:
1) yes
2) assuming you mean "how much time does it take", the average is appr. 120 hrs of self study
3) no. it’s laborious, but not difficult

Check out cccure.org (see links), there you’ll find more details.

Go for it!

The Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) is a set of hardware, software, people, policies, and procedures needed to create, manage, distribute, use, store, and revoke digital certificates.

In cryptography, a PKI is an arrangement that binds public keys with respective user identities by means of a certificate authority (CA). The user identity must be unique for each CA. The binding is established through the registration and issuance process, which, depending on the level of assurance the binding has, may be carried out by software at a CA, or under human supervision. The PKI role that assures this binding is called the Registration Authority (RA) . For each user, the user identity, the public key, their binding, validity conditions and other attributes are made unforgeable in public key certificates issued by the CA.

The term trusted third party (TTP) may also be used for certificate authority (CA). The term PKI is sometimes erroneously used to denote public key algorithms, which do not require the use of a CA.

ive graduated with a software engineering degree and was planning to do either c# or java. firstly, i cant decide between the two so can someone tell me which is likely to bring me more success, given that i pursue the given certifications. also ive been told IT security is a good field to go into, specifically taking the CISSP certification. Any guidance would be appreciated.

I say Software Development, i don’t have a reason, but I will be going into university pretty song, and from my perspective it choice the Software Developement

where can I locate the following book Mike Meyers’ CISSP(R) Certification Passport by Shon Harris.

I have tried online – all the major sites – way too expensive. Doesn’t have to be online. The book is out of print – A used copy would be fine.

have you tried here? don’t know what you define as too expensive
