    An excellent choice to keep up with cybersecurity education

    The field of information security is constantly evolving as new threats are discovered each day. Our consultants have to keep up with new knowledge and techniques to conduct pentesting, vulnerability remediation, computer forensic audits, and so on. Traditional training in cybersecurity is very expensive, lengthy, and lacks practical experience. When we found Infosec Skills we were impressed with the many themes available in their library, their focus, and also with the price, which is very economic in comparison with other alternatives. Also, their cyber ranges allow our employees to practice the skills needed in a very practical way. We are very happy to count on Infosec [Skills] as an educational ally.

    Fantastic Product

    Our security department is in its infancy and we use it daily to learn best practices and educate ourselves on tools that can be used to help secure our environment. There are a couple of staff members looking to obtain certifications and it's also used to prepare them for the test.

How does the CISSP experience waiver work?

One way is if you have a security-related degree from an accredited college. The other is to hold additional credentials from the ISC2 approved list. Learn more about how the CISSP experience waiver works.

What are the CISSP concentrations?

There are three additional role-based certifications from ISC2 that CISSP holders can pursue:

  • Information Systems Security Architecture Professional (ISSAP)
  • Information Systems Security Engineering Professional (ISSEP)
  • Information Systems Security Management Professional (ISSMP)

Before October 2023, the three certifications above required a CISSP certification and were often referred to CISSP specializations or concentrations (CISSP-ISSAP, CISSP-ISSEP and CISSP-ISSMP). However, ISC2 now allows an option for experienced professionals to earn their ISSAP, ISSEP or ISSMP without holding a CISSP.

Before this course, I didn’t understand harder CISSP concepts like cryptography. The teaching style, expertise and materials helped me understand the toughest topics. I will definitely recommend Infosec to my company and colleagues.
