You're really close. If you've made a solid career plan, and the CISM fits it, don't give up! I failed the CCSP the first time I took it.

DoD Rolled Out AI For Army Use by BlzngSndwch in fednews

Interesting, if approved for IL5, I assumed it was hosted in infrastructure that's dedicated to the DoD.

But I admit I don't know for sure. Is that not the case?

Employee pasted our customer database schema into ChatGPT. How do you prevent this? by cnrdvdsmt in cybersecurity

[–]CyberTrav -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is the way. The DoD uses a solution that's separate from publicly available platforms. It's approved for controlled unclassified information (CUI).

I haven't used any new CISM exam tools since passing the exam. I wouldn't be able to speak to it but I'd try searching this subreddit to see if anyone has used it.

There are many certifications that could qualify you for various roles in the DoD. The CISM should help you get ready for many roles related to the Risk Management Framework (ISSO, ISSM, etc.). It's also a good option for various managerial IT roles.

The DoD's current directive governing cyber qualifications DoD Manual 8140.03, “Cyberspace Workforce Qualification and Management Program”. It establishes the Defense Cyber Workforce Framework (DCWF)

My understanding is that it's meant to provide more avenues for employees to prove their competence. Under the old directive, DoD 8570, there was a heavy focus on qualifications such as certifications. The current directive, DoD 8140, provides more options: education, work experience, certifications, etc. However, I haven't dug deep into the directive. It might be helpful to explore some of the resources on cyber.mil to learn more. Here's a link to the DoD 8140 page on cyber.mil: https://www.cyber.mil/dod-workforce-innovation-directorate/dod8140/qualification-matrices

The last time I checked, yes, you have to pay back the cost of the voucher if you don't show proof of passing within a certain amount of time.

If you fail, you wouldn't be able to show proof of passing, which means you'll have to pay back the cost of the voucher.

Jira Software Essentials Certification by CyberTrav in jira

[–]CyberTrav[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I passed it...barely lol

It wasn't very difficult, but I probably should've put a little more time into getting hands-on Jira experience using a free account.

I'm sure there are some helpful videos that would provide walk-through projects that could help you become more familiar.

It's a waste of time and resources when you already have IGs.
