Another excellent certification from (ISC)2 is its Certified Systems Security Professional (CISSP) credential. The CISSP certification is a premier, advanced cyber security credential for professionals who are at the pinnacle of their careers. Not only is the CISSP globally recognized, but the financial rewards for credential holders are substantial. According to the Global Knowledge 2018 IT Skills and Salary Report, the CISSP is the number one ranked certification in terms of earning potential.
The CISSP targets seasoned professionals in senior roles such as security director, IT director, IT manager, chief information officer (CIO), chief information security officer (CISO), network architect, security systems engineer, security manager, security analyst, auditor and security architect. CISSPs design, implement and manage cybersecurity solutions. A single CISSP exam is required, along with a minimum of 5 years of paid work experience. The cert is good for three years; to maintain the credential, you must earn 120 CPEs and pay an annual maintenance fee of $85.
In terms of how the CISSP and Security+ stack up against each other, there really is no comparison. The CISSP is an expert-level credential focused on experienced security practitioners who work in senior security leadership roles. Security+ is geared to security professionals beginning their careers and often serves as the foundation to more advanced roles and credentials.
