RE: CISSP without experience

Hi,

Ok what you can do is if you do not have the experience you can still
sit the exam assuming you pass it you can apply to become a CISSP
Associate. Then all you have to do is when you do get the relevant
experience simply put your application through and get your full blown
CISSP.

It is actually 4 years experience, but if you have a degree then its
something different.

Subject: CISSP without experience

I have a 6 month experience on working professionally in Information
Security, but I have been learning and practicing it in my studies and
now I am looking for a job. Almost all of the jobs require a CISSP,
but you cannot get it without atleast 3 years experience. I did hear
that even without an experience you can pass the CISSP, but you will
not get the certification and then you can go to the employer and tell
him that you passed the CISSP. Anyone have any views or any experience
with it?
