WHAT IS THE CISSP? 

The Certified Information Systems Security Professional is a different type of exam.

It takes dedication, drive, focus and a willingness to never give up.

 

It’s now a computer adaptive style exam which is max 3 hours and contains 100-150 mind-bending, confidence-destroying, doubt-yourself questions testing your security concepts, and your patience.

WHERE DO I EVEN START?

It’s not a technical exam – you won’t be configuring OSPF or hacking with a Kali box.

 

It’s not about memorizing every chapter in a study guide either. 

 

All it takes is knowing the concepts.

It’s not impossible.  You can definitely pass it.
