The SSCP certification is held by more than 7,000 professionals around the world. Known for its technical rigor, the members who hold this qualification are typically working in areas like IT administration, networks security, security operations or incident response. The exam was last refreshed in November 2021 which that means it is time for us to begin the process again.
We will be starting the revision process in January and so will the SSCP. We need to hear from you, the certification holders. As we prepare for a Job Task Analysis (JTA) Study Workshop in January (tentatively scheduled for January 23-25), we are asking all SSCP-holders to review the current (now available in six languages) and consider the following:
- Do you believe that the current SSCP exam outline adequately covers the existing and emerging cybersecurity techniques and threats SSCP practitioners are facing in their jobs today?
- If not, what sort of topics/content should be added to the SSCP exam outline?
- What content currently on the SSCP exam outline is no longer relevant to today’s professionals?
Please send your answers to these questions to no later than January 9, 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!
