The Certification That Inspires Utmost Confidence If you plan to build a career in information security – one of today’s most visible professions – and if you have at least five full years of experience in information security, then the CISSP^® credential should be your next career goal.

The CISSP was the first credential in the field of information security, accredited by the ANSI (American National Standards Institute) to ISO (International Standards Organization) Standard 17024:2003. CISSP certification is not only an objective measure of excellence, but a globally recognized standard of achievement.

Because I do not have the necessary five years of experience, I will aim to ultimately achieve the CISSP certification, however, in the mean time, (ISC)2 offers what is called an Associate of (ISC)2 credential as described below.

The Associate of (ISC)² status is available to qualified candidates who:

• Subscribe to the (ISC)² Code of Ethics
• Pass the CISSP^® or SSCP^® certification exams based on the (ISC)² CBK^®, our taxonomy of information security topics.

Information security is an immensely rewarding career with unlimited possibilities, with a career partner like (ISC)².
