Indeed, a CISSP may make sense at some point or
another, but I'd urge you to start more gently and treat the CISSP as a
second or third rung in a ladder of related certifications. If you're not
too comfortable with the subject matter, start out with the network and
Internet security exams at BrainBench.com. After that, you'll want to tackle
a good, solid entry-level security certification, such as:
TruSecure ICSA
SANS GIAC GSEC
CompTIA Security+ (Note: Security+ won't be publicly available until late 2002 or early 2003.)
Once you get these under your belt, you should be able to tackle the
materials for the CISSP at your leisure. The Shon Harris book, CISSP
All-in-One Study Guide and the forthcoming Pearson CISSP Training Guide
(due early in 2003) should be excellent prep guides for this topic.
