InfoSEC - CISSP Mini-Bootcamp

NOTE: The September 8 InfoSEC meeting will be held at Tilson Technology Management, 245 Commercial St, Suite 203 -- Right above the Salt Exchange restaurant in Portland.

How I completed a self-study program to complete and pass the CISSP exam. Will start with a 10 question/10 minute mini-test covering each of the 10 domains and then discuss each domain in greater detail and how they can relate to any role in any company. Primary focus will be on how the CISSP is attainable by most anyone who has worked in an IT capacity in some respect for at least five years.
