    Hi,

    Here in Singapore, we have had people getting the CISSP without the
    sufficient knowledge and experience acquired for 3 years. Some only have
    1 year and they manage to get the CISSP. Many of the so called vendors
    has people obtianing the CISSP with only 1 year experience.

    Have raised this to CISSP but noone there replies.

    I really question the value of this type of certification as there is no
    stringent background check on the candidate.

    Rgds,
    Fuwang

    Subject: CISSP without experience

    I have a 6 month experience on working professionally in Information
    Security, but I have been learning and practicing it in my studies and
    now I am looking for a job. Almost all of the jobs require a CISSP, but
    you cannot get it without atleast 3 years experience. I did hear that
    even without an experience you can pass the CISSP, but you will not get
    the certification and then you can go to the employer and tell him that
    you passed the CISSP. Anyone have any views or any experience with it?
