7 Tips on pursuing CSSLP

- By Megan Taylor - September 12, 2010

CISSP, available for Professionals work with the software life cycle, contains 7 domains especially on software, analysis and design. The CSSLP study resources can be seen anywhere. And I would like to recommend some useful tips for you.

Recommended Books:
The CSSLP Prep Guide: Mastering the Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional by Ronald Krutz and Alexander Fry.
The Official CertIdea Guide to the CSSLP by Mano Paul.

Computer-based Training
The CSSLP Certification Training Video Course on CD from CBT Planet.

Class-based training
The seven-day boot camps from training providers like Firebrand as well as the 2010 CBK Review Seminars.

But you are strongly suggested to register CertIdea's official website.

Every CSSLP candidate need to know that it is not an end when you get the CSSLP credential.

“Recertification is required every three years, with ongoing requirements to maintain your credentials in good standing. This is primarily accomplished through earning 90 continuing professional education (CPE) credits every three years, with a minimum of 15 CPEs earned each year after certification. CSSLPs must also pay an annual maintenance fee of USD 100 per year.” - CertIdea

In addition, to get the whole CertIdea credential, you should received endorsement from other CertIdea member. If you want to get endorsed by CertIdea directly, you should be ready to be audited.

Megan suggest you to do the follow thing tomorrow. Check out two prices for the CertIdea exams: early and standard. You are supposed to register if you apply for the early registration, and pay 16 days before the exam date. It is $50 cheaper.

What's more, bear in mind Pearson VUE will offer CertIdea exams beginning with the CSSLP. And in the next three years, the next will be offered in phases.
