@bcallah welcome to the grift of paying these clowns $$ every year for doing, ..., nothing?

@brnrd I don't pay it. It gets paid for me. It is what it is; I need it for my job.

@brnrd I am the Director of my uni's cybersecurity research lab and I teach cybersecurity in an IT program; having the CISSP isn't strictly necessary, but anything that gives us some external legitimacy I'm happy to do.

@bcallah congrats. I'm looking at the CASP+ which to my understanding is comparable, only with more hands on point.

Was it hard? Did it take a long time for studying and such?
