His terminology is wrong , using the word "manager", but I do understand what he is saying. The SANS course also explains that. What he is saying is that as a manager , or anyone in fact, that is presenting a solution to a company, budgetary concerns are often taken into consideration above other things first. Executive management will consider a lower cost , lower option solution then the higher cost one, if it can give some of the results they want. The CISSP exam will/may contain questions with 2 correct answers, one containing the answer that gives a solid technical correct answer and the other which is correct but has budgetary concerns....in most all cases the budget one will work when dealing with CISSP. -----Original Message----- From: listbounce () securityfocus com [mailto:listbounce () securityfocus com] On Behalf Of David Harley Sent: Monday, February 04, 2008 1:04 PM To: 'Yousef Syed'; m.farid.shawara () gmail com Cc: security-basics () securityfocus com Subject: RE: CISSP Examination Practices ?
5. Remember that the CISSP is a MANAGEMENT Certification. So when answering questions, imagine you are a Manager. As a manager you are primarily motivated by money.
I presume you mean that managers are influenced by budgetary considerations, not that managers are only interested in their salary statements. :) Even so, that's rather a narrow view of what a manager is/does. And I can assure you that not all managers are technically challenged. ;-) -- David Harley
