 Associate of ISC2? Has anyone come across someone with this designation? Either for SSCP or CISSP? Would you consider them as valuable as a SSCP or CISSP? __________________ IT Specialist, US Army In progress: GSEC, CIW Security Professional | ||

They've proven that they can pass the test (which is an accomplishment) but don't have the work experience. If I needed someone with a CISSP skillset, then I'd hire a CISSP. | ||

The Associate of the (ISC)2 designation allows people be recognized for passing the CISSP or SSCP exam before they have acquired full certification (that is, work experience, endorsement, and vetting). For people who know what the Associate designation is, it is not as valued as the full CISSP and SSCP certifications. You do not use the "CISSP" or "SSCP" name until you have acquired the full certification.

Oh I'm aware of it, its just annoying as hell, How can you be recognized when you cant use the designation? I've seen this thread: Associates Designation but it still doesn't feel right. Personally, i dont know if I would sit for the exam until I knew that I met the experience requirements. __________________ IT Specialist, US Army In progress: GSEC, CIW Security Professional | ||

Oh yeah, I forgot Assoc. SSCP/CISSP was accepted. I can't wait! BTW, I saw a thread that stated that studying several CISSP guides was the best way to study for the SSCP, but it was a dated thread. Is the Official ISC2 guide not sufficient? __________________ IT Specialist, US Army In progress: GSEC, CIW Security Professional Last edited by SephStorm; 03-08-2010 at 12:03 AM. | ||

The SSCP OIG is good; the CISSP material is extra study material to help you learn the SSCP topics. Be aware that the SSCP is more technical than the CISSP, so the CISSP study material will not be to the technical depth you need. Also, the CISSP's physical and application domains are not in the SSCP, but other technical topics (Malware) are. __________________ Moderator of the InfoSec, CWNP, IT Jobs, Virtualization, Java, and Microsoft Developers forums at www.techexams.net Blog: www.techexams.net/blogs/jdmurray LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/jamesdmurray Twitter: www.twitter.com/jdmurray | ||
