The short and somewhat flippant answer to your question is:
- Have three or more years of on-the-job security experience
- Take and pass the CISSP exam
- Sign the ISC-squared's code of ethics
- Meet continuing education/re-certification requirements
The best way to really scope this out is to visit the ISC-squared Web
site at www.isc2.org. In particular, you will find the following URLs

About CISSP certification
I also recommend that you obtain a good study guide, some practice tests
and start working your way through some serious bibliography to get ready
for this exam. You will find the Shon Harris "CISSP All-in-One Exam Guide"
(Osborne/McGraw, 2002, ISBN: 0072193530) and my forthcoming Sybex book,
CISSP Study Guide, by Ed Tittel, Mike Chappell and James Michael Stewart
to be useful resources.
Likewise, I recommend the following online resources beyond those you'll
find at cramsession.com:
- CISSP Study Guides: The Web portal for the certified information systems security professionals. Exam guides, CISSP career, discussion forums and access to custom training services. (www.cissps.com)
- CISSP Open Study Group: Probably the most comprehensive collection of pointers and information available anywhere. (www.cccure.org) A condensed version of this information also appears at Clement Dupius' Resources for the CISSP Study Guide.
- Dan Houser's CISSP Study Guide List Version 3.2
This should be more than enough information to get you started. Good
luck!
