With the ever-changing landscape of the cybersecurity industry, it is important to keep certifications current, accurate and relevant – and we need help from you, the cybersecurity professionals, who hold certifications in the field.
(ISC)² is exploring a new security management credential that is in better alignment with global standards for recognized roles and specialisms. The current CISSP-ISSMP credential is earned after obtaining a CISSP. This new certification could be obtained by a practitioner before seeking the CISSP credential.
The first step of the process is to conduct a JTA workshop, tentatively scheduled for March 13-15, 2023. We are asking that anyone who currently holds the CISSP-ISSMP or CISSP to review the current and consider the following questions:
- Which topics from the CISSP-ISSMP exam outline are appropriate to retain for a less-experienced security management professional?
- What content, currently on the CISSP-ISSMP exam outline, is not appropriate for a less-experienced security management professional?
- Are there topics or content that should be added to address emerging cybersecurity techniques and threats that security management professionals are facing in their jobs today?
Please send your feedback and answers to these questions to no later than February 27, 2023. Please include your member ID number in your email. Your comments will be compiled and presented to the JTA committee for further review.
For your participation in this essential activity keeping our certification up to date, you may submit this exercise for CPE credit in the portal. Thank you for your help and providing insight!
