        Assuming that you are talking about the CISSP certification offered
    by the (ISC)^2 --talk about an acronym--I agree.  While it may not be up
    to date in the sense that it covers material from late 1997 to 1998,
    they have done a fairly decent job in updating the test.  I would
    contend that any information security professional looking for an
    industry specific certification should look into it.  Infosec auditors
    will probably be more prepared for the CISA exam
    (http://www.isaca.org/cert1.htm), but I know of people with both.
    
        The exam covers 10 domains of information ranging from cryptography,
    physical security, telecommunications security, application development
    and access control to disaster recovery planning and infosec law.  The
    test is closed-book and around 250 questions and you have 6 hours to
    complete it.  There are some fairly stringent recertification
    requirements of earning continuing education credits or just retaking
    the test every three years.
    
        Find out more at http://www.isc2.org .
