Читать книгу CISSP For Dummies - Peter H. Gregory - Страница 41

As popular as the CISSP certification is, some people still don’t know about it, and many who may have heard of it don’t understand what it’s all about. Tell people about your CISSP certification, and explain the certification process to your peers. Here are some facts that you can share with anyone and everyone you meet:

 The CISSP certification started in 1994.

 CISSP is the top-tier information security professional certification.

 More than 142,000 security professionals in more than 170 countries have the CISSP certification.

 CISSP was the first credential accredited by the ANSI (American National Standards Institute) to ISO (International Organization for Standardization) Standard 17024.

 The average CISSP salary is $131,030 (U.S.).

 The organization that manages the CISSP certification has other certifications for professionals who specialize in various fields of information security. The organization also promotes information security awareness through education programs and events.

Promote the fact that you’re certified. How can you promote it? After earning your CISSP, you can simply put the letters CISSP after your name on your business cards, stationery, email signature, résumé, blog, and website. While you’re at it, put the CISSP logo or your digital badge on there, too (and be sure to abide by any established terms of use).

Many other certifications available from (ISC)² are described later in this chapter.
