ISC2 Just Opened Board Positions To All Members

From a recent email from ISC2 leadership:

“Beginning this year, the (ISC)² Board of Directors has opened nominations to serve on the Board to the entire membership. All certified eligible (ISC)² members interested in volunteering to serve on the Board are invited to nominate themselves for consideration.

All interested members can submit themselves for candidacy and consideration by the Board. Nominations are being accepted May 12 - June 12, 2022.

The (ISC)² Board of Directors is responsible for:

  • Providing strategic direction, governance and oversight for (ISC)²

  • Developing policies and procedures

  • Granting certifications

  • Enforcing the (ISC)² Code of Ethics

If you are interested in serving on the Board, please submit your application at www.isc2.org/Nominate.”

I think this is a good move, and I hope it draws many more candidates to the election process.

Two Big Announcements: WannaBeA books available worldwide, and CCSP Practice Question Videos for New Exam Outline

I've just created some brand-new practice question videos, aligned with the Exam Outline that takes effect 01 AUG 22. Every sub-topic is addressed by at least one question. I've loaded the videos for Domains 1-4, and should 5-6 up by next week. I'll also be loading a remix of the questions, for two full, 125-question practice exam videos.

As an introductory, because not everything is loaded yet, I'm offering 30-day access to the videos for $15. Use the discount code: INTROCCSPPRAC at checkout.

A week from now, they go up to full price: twenty bucks for 30 days of access. Good luck, and study hard!

ISC2 announced another trial run of remote testing today. From their email:

Take the CISSP Exam Online Anywhere 

 

Is CISSP on your to-do list? Now it’s more comfortable and convenient to get it done and achieve your goals. Take the (ISC)² CISSP Online Pilot Exam anywhere — from your home, your office or wherever a private area is available to you. 
 
Act now - space is limited. Registration closes February 21, 2022. 
 
Online CISSP examinations will be administered February 28 – March 7, 2022 for candidates physically located in the U.S., U.K. and Singapore. Availability is on a first come, first serve basis. The CISSP exam will only be available in English and in the Computerized Adaptive Testing (CAT) format, which has a 3-hour time limit and contains between 100-150 multiple choice items. Results will not be immediately available; all exam results will be held until after a complete statistical and psychometric assessment, which can take 8-10 weeks. 
 
Not all candidates will be eligible for this pilot program, for more information about the registration process and requirements, please read the Online Exam Proctoring FAQ. Candidates who meet the qualifications, understand and agree to the conditions and are interested in registering for a certification examination as part of the (ISC)² online proctoring pilot test, can register today at Pearson VUE.
