As you know, cybersecurity is a constantly changing field. In order to maintain the accuracy, relevance and excellence of (ISC)² exams, we regularly conduct Job Task Analysis (JTA) studies to review and update exam outlines. JTAs are a methodical process used to determine tasks that are performed in the field by credential holders, as well as the knowledge and skills required to execute those tasks successfully.
This review process is continual for all (ISC)² certifications, resulting in regular updates to exams and exam outlines. Coming up next month, the CISSP will be taking its next step in the with a JTA Study Workshop tentatively scheduled for January 17-19, 2023.
As we prepare for this workshop, we would like to hear from all active CISSPs. To assist in this process, please review the current (available in six languages) and consider the following questions:
- Do you believe that the current CISSP exam outline adequately covers the existing and emerging cybersecurity techniques and threats CISSP practitioners are facing in their jobs today?
- If not, what sort of topics/content should be added to the CISSP exam outline?
- What content currently on the CISSP exam outline is no longer relevant to today’s professionals?
Please send your answers to these questions to no later than January 3, 2023. Please include your ID # in your email. Your comments will be compiled and presented to the JTA Committee for further review.
Be sure to submit this exercise via the CPE portal so that you can earn credit for participating in this essential activity. Thank you for your invaluable insights and help!
