As all facets of society rely more on technology, information security has become paramount. With information readily available online, businesses must do everything possible to prevent data breaches and cyberattacks while safeguarding critical systems and data. 

With so much at risk, businesses need qualified people to manage their information systems. CISSP certification indicates professional excellence, assuring hiring managers that candidates have the in-demand career skills necessary to manage IT security.

We’ll explore what it takes to become a CISSP when navigating your career path in the IT industry.

What is a CISSP?

CISSP stands for Certified Information Systems Security Professional. It’s a globally recognized certification offered by the International System Security Certification Consortium, also known as (ISC)². CISSP is considered one of the best infosec and cybersecurity certifications around. 

Individuals seek CISSP certification to answer the call for experienced, highly capable IT professionals who can effectively manage an enterprise’s cybersecurity by applying IT security-related concepts and theories.

After passing the certification test (which usually takes around six hours), CISSPs can take on various job titles, including the following: 

  • Security Manager
  • Security Analyst
  • Chief Information Security Officer

No matter the job title, a CISSP always focuses on upholding a top-notch IT security system.

Earning the best IT certifications, including CISSP certification, is an excellent career advancement asset that validates your skills and knowledge.

How much does a CISSP make?

There are relatively few CISSPs in the industry, so those who pass the certification test and meet the requirements are well-compensated.

Reports differ regarding how much CISSPs earn. For example, the Global Knowledge 2020 IT Skills and Salary Report said CISSPs are the third-highest earners in the IT industry worldwide while ranking fifth in the North America Region.

An (ISC)² Cybersecurity Workforce study shows that the global average security manager’s salary is $92,639. Below are the figures for different regions based on the latest available information.

Region

Average salary (in U.S. dollars)

Global

$92,639

Asia-Pacific

$57,179

Europe, Middle East, and Africa

$81,568

Latin America

$22,014

North America

$120,552

On the other hand, according to the Certification Magazine-Salary Survey 75 report, average salaries are as follows:

Region

Average salary (in U.S. dollars)

Globally

$123,490

United States

$135,510

The average global salaries from (ISC)² and CertMag differ; CertMag’s values combined U.S. and non-U.S. salaries. Additionally, while CertMag’s values were based on a study of only 55 respondents, (ISC)²’s statistics are derived from an industry-wide study and may be more representative of genuine averages.

A CISSP certification is an excellent springboard into an information security career and a path toward helping to prevent network security threats and vulnerabilities via unified threat management.

What experience do you need to become a CISSP?

Despite the increasing demand for CISSPs, the (ISC)² imposes strict qualifications to ensure that only the most capable and experienced professionals earn the title. The industry is lucrative, but the requirements CISSPs must fulfill are extensive.

First, CISSP applicants must have at least five years of valid working experience relevant to the IT security field. The (ISC)² requires that work experience falls under the eight domains of the (ISC)² CISSP CBK:

  • Domain 1. Security and Risk Management
  • Domain 2. Asset Security
  • Domain 3. Security Architecture and Engineering
  • Domain 4. Communication and Network Security
  • Domain 5. Identity and Access Management (IAM)
  • Domain 6. Security Assessment and Testing
  • Domain 7. Security Operations
  • Domain 8. Software Development Security

Additionally, to satisfy these domains, the (ISC)² requires experience in any of the following positions:

  • Chief Information Security Officer
  • Chief Information Officer
  • Director of Security
  • IT Director/Manager
  • Security Systems Engineer
  • Security Analyst
  • Security Manager
  • Security Auditor
  • Security Architect
  • Security Consultant
  • Network Architect

Work experience can come from full-time employment, part-time employment, or an internship. (Requirements may vary depending on your employment terms.)

  • Full-time employment. For full-time employees aiming to become CISSPs, work experience only qualifies as full time if you’ve worked a minimum of 35 hours per week for four weeks, accrued monthly.
  • Part-time working experience. If your work hours fell between 20-34 hours weekly, your experience will qualify as part-time. Your experience will be computed as follows:
    • Every 1,040 hours of part-time work rendered are equivalent to half a year’s worth of full-time experience.
  • Every 2,080 hours of part-time work will be equivalent to one year of full-time work experience.
  • Internships. If your only relevant experience involves an internship program, the (ISC)² will accept it if you have certification from the organization that validates your internship. The consortium will accept qualified paid and unpaid internships as working experience.
  • Other work experience options. According to the (ISC)², you can also satisfy a year’s worth of necessary experience if you:
    • Hold a four-year college degree (or regional equivalent).
    • Have an advanced degree in information security from the U.S. National Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education (CAE/IAE).
    • Have any other approved credentials as outlined by the (ISC)².

The CISSP certification is considered an evergreen IT certification; it demonstrates excellent longevity, desirability, popularity, and compensation.

What does the CISSP test entail?

Work experience is only part of what you need to become a CISSP. To be certified, you’ll also need to prepare for and pass the CISSP exam, which costs $699 and requires a minimum score of 700 out of 1,000 points.

Besides passing the certification exam, you must also undergo an endorsement process to become a CISSP. You can do this by subscribing to the (ISC)² Code of Ethics. The endorsement form must be completed within nine months after passing the test to fully certify your status as a CISSP.

What are other paths toward achieving the CISSP title?

Not everyone meets CISSP certification requirements – in fact, very few do. However, there are ways to bypass or fast-track your way into the industry. 

1. Become an (ISC)² Associate to help meet CISSP requirements.

One of the biggest challenges to becoming a CISSP is acquiring the relevant qualifying experience. However, you can remedy your lack of experience by applying for a job as an (ISC)² Associate.

Becoming an (ISC)² Associate helps you fast-track your cybersecurity career. Additionally, because you’ll work closely with the consortium, you can learn more about the industry and grow as a cybersecurity expert.

2. Get CompTIA certifications to help your cybersecurity career.

You can also jump-start your cybersecurity career by looking into certifications offered by CompTIA. CompTIA helps IT professionals acquire specific certifications to fortify their credentials. Some certifications you can apply for include the entry-level A+, Security+, and Network+ certifications. 

Entry-level cybersecurity certifications can help jump-start your cybersecurity career by verifying your skills and knowledge and getting your resume noticed.

3. SSCP certification can help you meet CISSP requirements.

Another way to meet the required CISSP qualifications if you have relevant but insufficient work experience is to work on your credential as a Systems Security Certified Professional or SSCP, also under the (ISC)².

Following this path will help you prepare for CISSP certification. It’s like a walk-through toward fulfilling your primary goal with the added perk of gaining an extensive understanding and mastery of the job ahead of time.

Should you pursue a career as a CISSP?

Becoming a CISSP is challenging, and the necessary qualifications require extensive time and effort. However, compared to almost any other employment type – even in the IT sector – CISSP certification is profitable and affords many opportunities. 

If you have what it takes to become a CISSP – drive, credentials, time, and money – and feel confident, you should consider taking the exam. The CISSP job market has high demand across all industries and organizations. Aside from its considerable earning opportunities, you can become an indispensable asset for any company because of your IT security expertise.

Will the Cyber Skills Gap Continue to Grow in 2024?

The global cyber workforce gap continued to scale new heights in 2023. In October, ISC2 reported that the gap had reached a record four million people and ISACA research found that 62% of cybersecurity teams were understaffed.

This is despite a significant increase in cybersecurity professionals in 2023, with the global workforce reaching 5.5 million, according to ISC2 figures.

With ransomware attacks reaching record levels in 2023, the cyber-threat landscape has put more demand on the cybersecurity community than ever before.

Tara Wisniewski, EVP, Advocacy, Global Markets and Member Engagement at ISC2, told Infosecurity: “The threat landscape is tougher than it’s ever been. They found that 75% of cyber professionals are finding the current threat landscape to be the most challenging it’s been in the past five years. That’s inevitably going to increase the need for skilled cybersecurity professionals.”

Lay-Offs and Budget Cuts

Wisniewski cited findings from ISC2’s 2023 Cyber Workforce Study, which showed that lay-offs, budget cuts and hiring and promotion freezes had impacted cybersecurity teams this year amid the global economic downturn.

Jon Brandt, Director of Professional Practices and Innovation at ISACA, agreed that the economic environment is having a big impact on the ability of companies to hire for cybersecurity jobs. While many organizations say they have open positions, in reality they are not hiring for them.

“The number of true entry-level jobs has been insufficient for what is necessary for the countless individuals who have completed university, re-skilling and/or upskilling programs,” he told Infosecurity.

Cybersecurity vendors themselves have not been immune to lay-offs, with Rapid7 cutting 18% of its staff and Splunk making 7% of its staff redundant this year.

Will the Skills Gap Increase in 2024?

Overall, the picture looks bleak for the coming year, with  the cyber workforce gap likely to widen in 2024.

Wisniewski noted that demand for cyber professionals will rise in the foreseeable future regardless of the economic situation, given the reliance on digital technology.

She said that security cutbacks are not only hindering the growth of the cyber workforce, but are having ripple effects that cause burnout, low morale and damage productivity. This increases the chances of seasoned professionals changing jobs or even leaving the industry altogether.

Lisa Ventura, Founder, Cyber Security Unity, said that security tends to be one of first budgets that businesses cut in times of financial difficulty.

“I think the cyber skills gap will continue to widen next year, especially with so many cyber and tech organizations making redundancies as the global economic downturn continues to bite,” she explained to Infosecurity

“We haven’t seen any major evidence of AI replacing cybersecurity jobs"

Economic uncertainty, combined with fast evolving tactics by threat actors and the introduction of new cybersecurity regulations is a recipe for a much greater need for workers, according to Larry Whiteside Jr., Co-Founder and President, Cyversity and CISO, RegScale.

“Regrettably, I anticipate the skills gap to expand further in 2024,” he told Infosecurity.

AI is often viewed as a chance to reduce the cyber skills crisis by enabling more tasks to be automated. However, in the short term it could exacerbate the problem as many organizations currently lack expertise in AI to use these tools effectively.

“Generative AI has the possibility to help security operations, but like any other technology, it requires practitioners understand it at the appropriate level for their responsibility,” said Brandt.

Wisniewski added: “We haven’t seen any major evidence of AI replacing cybersecurity jobs – in fact, they anticipate seeing an increased need for hiring professionals who are skilled in AI/ML.”

Hope on the Horizon?

Despite the current workforce landscape, there is significant action being taken to address this issue across the public and private sectors.

In July 2023, the White House launched its National Cyber Workforce and Education Strategy (NCWES). In addition to transforming cyber education, the strategy aims to expand and enhance the national cyber workforce, such as encouraging the adoption of a skills-based approach to recruitment, and increasing job opportunities in the sector for underrepresented groups.

“This initiative provides a solid foundation for corporations to align their hiring practices with broader inclusivity goals,” commented Whiteside.

New opportunities have also provided by the private and not-for-profit sectors to allow people to quickly develop cyber skills and make themselves ready for a job in the industry.

“Notably, both Google and ISC2 have invested significantly in creating accessible training resources, providing a broad audience with fundamental skills essential for entering the cybersecurity field,” observed Whiteside.

Similarly, Ventura highlighted several new initiatives in the UK, which aim to make cybersecurity careers more accessible. This includes work being undertaken by the UK Cyber Security Council to professionalize the industry, creating clear pathways and qualifications, and opportunities to rapidly reskill people through programs like Capslock’s bootcamps.

Boosting opportunities and pathways into the sector is a key component of the UK government’s National Cyber Strategy.

How to Tackle the Skills Gap in 2024

Looking ahead, Wisniewski urged organizations to prioritize budgets and investments security across the entire workforce.

“Ongoing education and training can help shrink skills gaps, with 58% of cybersecurity professionals agreeing this is the way forward to mitigate the negative impact of worker shortages,” she outlined.

Additionally, it is important to expand ideas of what defines a high-quality candidate for positions in cyber to boost both numbers and diversity in the sector. Whiteside believes that for this to happen, security leaders must play a greater role in shaping the requirements, job descriptions, and expectations related to the recruitment of individuals for open cybersecurity roles within their organizations.

“Without a more proactive involvement from cyber leaders, they may fall short of achieving the diversity needed to bring about meaningful change and enhance the field's value in addressing the daily cyber threats organizations encounter,” he explained.

The growing availability of advanced technologies such as AI means that organizations must place an even greater premium on soft skills in their security teams, according to Brandt.

The skills gap is not a challenge that the private sector can tackle alone. While growing government intervention in this area is a step in the right direction, there needs to more improvement in collaboration between the public and private sector to ensure such initiatives are executed effectively.

Wisniewski noted: “Governments and industry need to make tangible steps towards building a skilled workforce, providing the right tools and resources and most importantly, listening to the challenges the profession is facing. Doing so is vital to building a robust cybersecurity workforce.”

Cameron Diaz Defends ‘Back in Action’ Co-Star Jamie Foxx From Set Rumors: “A Professional on Every Level”

She also addresses discussion about filming delays, noting that "hiccups that happened throughout production are the natural kinds of things that happen, but nothing got delayed other than, obviously, toward the end."

Cameron Diaz is defending her Back in Action co-star Jamie Foxx‘s on-set decorum following rumors that he made “everything miserable and that I was never gonna make another movie again because of him.”

Diaz appeared on a latest episode of Molly Sims’ Lipstick on the Rim, where she discussed working with Foxx, who experienced a medical emergency while filming on the Atlanta set of their upcoming movie earlier this year.

Diaz described Foxx, whom she’s previously worked with on two other movies, as a “cheerleader for the entire crew,” adding that “everybody loves him.”

“Jamie is the best. I love that guy so much. He’s such a special person, and he’s so talented, so much fun,” she added. “We have so much fun on the set with him, and he’s just a professional on every level.”

Rumors, the actress says, about Foxx’s on-set conduct called that professionalism into question, something that she’s adamantly disputing. “I really hate all of the things that were being said about their set,” Diaz told Sims. “You just want to scream at the top of your lungs, like, ‘What are you talking about?'”

The actress was referring to rumors that Foxx had made the set “miserable” and had made the actress — who is coming back from a 10-year acting hiatus — want to leave filmmaking again. Diaz called it a “great set” and noted that any production issues were of the everyday variety.

“The hiccups that happened throughout production are the natural kinds of things that happen, but nothing got delayed other than, obviously, toward the end,” the Back in Action star said, referencing Foxx’s hospitalization.

While she declined to get into specifics about her co-star’s health or what happened on set, Diaz did celebrate Foxx’s recovery, agreeing with Sims that he’s “thriving.” She also revealed that Foxx declined to address any rumors about what was happening on the set of Back in Action, calling her co-star “classy.”

“He’s like, ‘Nope. Just let them [talk],'” Diaz explained. “We know the truth. Still, it just really made me angry.”

Foxx, who recently celebrated turning 56, was hospitalized in April for an undisclosed medical issue, with his daughter, Corrine, stating that he “experienced a medical complication” but was “already on his way to recovery.” The actor stepped back from the public eye for several months, with Nick Canon taking over hosting duties on his Fox series Beat Shazam and missing the premiere for his film They Cloned Tyrone before being seen on a yacht waving to passersby in July.

The award-winning actor has repeatedly thanked the public for their support as he recovered, including his most latest birthday comments. “I wanna start by saying thank you to everyone that prayed for me when I was in a bad way,” he wrote. “I NEEDED EVERY PRAYER … you lifted me through … I was able to make it to today because of your prayers.”
