What Changed after CISSP

CISSP certification requires you to have knowledge on wide range of security topics and given a circumstance, how you apply them at work. I was planning to take up this exam from very long time and I was under the assumption that becoming CISSP would change lot of things in Carrier for sure. The fact is true, there is a drastic change in approach and how to apply the knowledge gained during preparing for the exam. You gain a vast knowledge on different security domains and consider various aspects of security while design or implementing new solutions. You get used to reading so much for the exam that it becomes like a habit to read more. Also to keep up with the certification current, you keep yourself updated with current happenings in industry, tend to read more articles, white papers, blogs, posts, listen to webinars which may be technical, non-technical or security related topics. The only thing constant is CHANGE and it is evident for me after becoming a CISSP. A whole new approach at work and carrier.
