Certification

I finally obtained the Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) certification. It is definitely the most well-known certification in the information security industry and the one recommended for any professionals in this field. What is the CISSP? It is not necessarily the most technical or specialized certification.

In August 2014, I published a post about my experience with the CISA exam and the required experience. Even 3 years later, it is still the most popular post here and not so long ago, I was always seeing more requests after the exam dates.

This post was published when this blog was also in French. This post is available in English. Terminé. Cet examen de 6 heures avec ses 250 questions est enfin du passé. Eh oui, je parle bien du légendaire CISSP ou l’examen pour le “Certified Information Systems Security Professional” de ISC2.

Done. The 6-hour exam with its 250 questions is finally in the past. Yes, I am talking about the famous CISSP or the “Certified Information Systems Security Professional” exam from ISC2. This is the certification that most information security professionals will try to obtain at one point in their career.

Depuis les dernières années, je suis de plus en plus du côté de l’audit TI et de la sécurité de l’information. Du moins, en théorie, j’ai encore plusieurs projets techniques… Toutefois, ça faisait déjà quelque temps que je voulais poursuivre la certification « Offensive Security Certified Professional » (OSCP).

I am more an IT auditor, and on the business side of information security (at least, in theory, I still like doing many technical projects). However, it was still important for me to pursue the Offensive Security Certified Professional (OSCP) certification.
