‘Student’ CISSP article
A co-worker pointed me to (ISC)2’s rebuttal of my earlier article.

I’m still not convinced by their arguments which are largely arguing semantics.
- You’ll note “Student” is in quotes. I’m not claiming it’s the official title.
- One of my arguments is that these new “(ISC)2 associates” will be confused with regular CISSPs. (ISC)2’s argument seems to be “but they aren’t CISSPs”
There are a few other things but it’s not worth my time getting into it.
My favourite responses to the article were along the lines of “But CISSP is already a joke!”. In furtherance, a couple of searches from Google:
Results 1 - 10 of about 136,000 for cissp fast pass.
Results 1 - 10 of about 241,000 for cissp braindump.
Results 1 - 10 of about 25,900 for cissp is a joke.
I also did a Podcast where I talked a bit more about the article. I thought I was going to get blasted — (ISC)2 was invited but refused to come — but there was an even stronger viewpoint on the panel than mine.
