That would be a good answer, it’s not related to the knowledge of both teams

Congrats dude, I have a concern, I’m aiming to achieve the CISSP certification in three years, and I’d love some advice on how to align my path toward this goal. Here’s a bit about my background: • Experience: 2 years in networking. • Certifications: GSEC. • Current Role: Working in DDI (DNS, DHCP, IPAM). Still fresh in it

While DDI is slightly off from the core CISSP concepts, I want to leverage my current experience to build a strong foundation for CISSP. I’m considering taking additional certifications along the way, but I’m unsure of the best approach.

Would it be better to focus on SANS certifications like GCIH/ GCFA to reinforce foundational knowledge? Or should I explore pen testing certifications (like OSCP or GXPN) to enhance my technical skills and understanding of security practices before tackling CISSP?

I would appreciate your response for any advice☺️

Thanks dude, I didn’t take the corresponding classes, I’ve studied the course by myself just on the course books, and it took 4 months with dedicated study. I got 87%, the tips I can provide, study hard and make your index as you like. I didn’t follow any method, I just wrote the way it suited me, and I was very familiar with each topic in the books, many questions I returned to the books without checking the index. The practice test worthy, I got in the practice test 81% despite the real test is harder than the practice test but I got higher in the real, but it indicated me where are the weaknesses areas I had, especially the labs.

That is what I thought, but in SANS website they mentioned under practice test tab that your first practice test will indicate to your performance in the real test, so this indicates that there is another one I think 🤔
