Your CISSP Moment: Help Shape the Future of AI Security Certification
CISSP certification holders have an opportunity to leverage their extensive real-world experience and knowledge to help define this major new professional qualification, leveraging their transferrable artificial intelligence (AI) skills to define relevant competence for AI security professionals.
Throughout cybersecurity history, there have been defining moments when practitioners came together to establish standards, frameworks and credentials that would guide the profession for decades.
When cybersecurity professionals began pursuing the CISSP,, they inherited a credential that had already become the global benchmark for cybersecurity expertise. The exam domains, body of knowledge and professional standards had been established through the work of earlier practitioners who helped define what it meant to be a cybersecurity professional. The CISSP exam and course materials have constantly evolved over time, with extensive input from ISC2 members, to keep pace with the evolving cybersecurity landscape. Building on those foundations that were laid in 1994, the CISSP has endured and remained responsive to new technologies and best practices.
Today, however, CISSP holders have a rare opportunity to do for the next generation what others once did for them.
As ISC2 develops its new AI security certification, cybersecurity professionals are being invited to participate directly in the certification development process. From defining job tasks and required competencies to helping build and validate the exam itself, volunteers will play a critical role in establishing the profession’s next major credential.
For CISSP holders in particular, this represents a unique moment, perhaps even your CISSP moment.
