Benefits of Attending a CISSP Boot Camp

cissp certification boot campIt doesn’t matter what you’re preparing for; one thing is always true: it’s easier to plan it than to do it. When you spend your days making crucial decisions, your well-laid plans often fall victim to diminished self-discipline by nightfall. Sure, you know you should be studying, but that knowledge doesn’t make it any easier to summon the motivation to do it night after night. An accelerated in-person CISSP Boot Camp takes the temptation to postpone test prep off of the table and, instead, gives you space to immerse yourself in the materials. Our courses are designed to remove the distractions of your everyday life so you can fully focus your time and attention on the coursework and be exam-ready in less time than if you’d studied on your own.

But beyond exam preparation, obtaining the CISSP certification can open doors to a wealth of career benefits. Many employers recognize the CISSP as a gold standard in the field of cybersecurity, increasing your professional standing and marketability. According to Burning Glass Technologies, almost one-fourth of cybersecurity job postings in 2020 sought candidates with a CISSP certification, illustrating its high demand in the industry.

 

Our CISSP Bootcamp gives you more than mere exposure to the fundamentals and concepts on the test. It provides a focused educational experience with a rigorous schedule. Throughout the course, you’ll talk through the concepts and situations with your instructor and peers so you can ground your learning and recall it when you need it.

Moreover, certified information security professionals typically earn a worldwide average of 25% more than their non-certified peers, highlighting the certification’s potential to boost your earning power. With a CISSP credential, you may find yourself eligible for advanced roles such as network security specialist, senior security engineer, information security manager, or even chief security officer.

Interacting with an expert instructor who can translate concepts into practical terms helps to ensure you grasp the content and lets you test your understanding. Studying with a group of your peers in a classroom environment can also help build and maintain your motivation for the exam. It’s easy to get distracted and lose focus when you’re alone at your desk with a book. Studying with others who share your goals can help keep you accountable and sustain or stimulate determination.

Your years of practical experience are the most valuable thing you bring to your role. Without them, you wouldn’t be qualified to sit for the CISSP exam in the first place. Distilling what you know from doing into the foundations and principles on the CISSP exam, however, can challenge even the most experienced project managers. Your CISSP Certification Training Instructor will help you connect your experience to the exam materials, putting what you’ve learned on the job into context so you can apply it on the exam.

Your CISSP Certified trainer is an expert project manager with in-depth understanding of the training materials but also in exam readiness. Every student who enrolls in and completes the Certification Academy CISSP Boot Camp receives one-on-one guidance from their trainer and an individualized learning plan based on their current proficiency and progress towards their education requirements.

In conclusion, obtaining a CISSP certification not only equips you with essential knowledge and skills but also significantly enhances your career prospects and earning potential. With the right preparation and support, you can achieve your certification goals and unlock new opportunities in the dynamic field of cybersecurity.

CISSP Certification Frequently Asked Questions

What is the process for obtaining an endorsement after passing the exam?

Process for Obtaining an Endorsement After Passing the CISSP Exam

Once you’ve conquered the CISSP exam, the journey doesn’t end there. To officially earn your CISSP certification, you must complete the endorsement process, which involves a few critical steps:

  1. Understanding the Code of Ethics: Familiarize yourself with the (ISC)² Code of Ethics. This is crucial as subscribing to this code is a part of the endorsement process.
  2. Securing a Professional Endorser: Identify an existing certified (ISC)² professional who can act as your endorser. This person will attest to your professional experience and credentials. They need to verify your:
    • Length of Employment: Confirm the duration and nature of your work experience.
    • Professional Reputation: Acknowledge your standing and conduct in the field.
    • Continuing Education: Validate your ongoing commitment to learning as a security analyst.
  3. Submitting the Endorsement: Have your endorser complete the necessary endorsement documentation. This step officially validates your professional background and ethical adherence.
  4. Review and Approval: Once all necessary documents are submitted, the endorsement will be reviewed by (ISC)². Upon approval, you’ll be granted the CISSP certification.

By following these steps, you’ll not only meet the requirements for certification but also solidify your reputation in the cybersecurity community.

 

What other certifications matter for Cybersecurity careers?

When exploring cybersecurity certifications beyond the well-known CISSP, there are several other valuable credentials to consider. These certifications not only help enhance your skill set but also boost your credibility in the cybersecurity field. Here’s a closer look at some options:

  1. Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH):
    The CEH certification focuses on understanding and using the same knowledge and tools as malicious hackers, but in a lawful and legitimate manner. It equips professionals with the skills to identify vulnerabilities in systems and provide solutions to protect them.

  2. Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA):
    This certification is ideal for individuals involved in auditing, control, and security of information systems. It emphasizes strategizing for risk management, governance, and compliance.

  3. CompTIA Security+:
    A foundational certification, Security+ is often seen as a stepping stone into the cybersecurity domain, covering basic security topics and practices. It provides a broad understanding that can be applied to various IT security roles.

  4. CRISC (Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control):
    Targeted at professionals tasked with managing enterprise risk, CRISC focuses on designing and implementing strategies to mitigate technology risks.

These certifications cater to various aspects of cybersecurity, from ethical hacking to risk management, offering pathways for professional growth and specialization. Each certification serves a unique purpose, aiding in skill development and career advancement.

One Last Note…

We stand behind our course and methodology. We want you to take the CISSP exam with the confidence and assurance that your investment in our CISSP Boot Camp has paid off. Deciding to enroll in a CISSP Exam Prep class isn’t a decision you should make without having all of the information. If you can’t find the answers to your questions here, send us an email or give us a call. Our team is always happy to answer questions or provide additional information, whether you’re a student of ours or not.
