If you have seven years of system & network administration including
user access control, configuration of security software such as ssh
and tcp wrappers, and an understanding of host lockdown, you can make
an argument for having the necessary experience for the CISSP.
The specific requirements for the CISSP are here:
https://www.isc2.org/cgi/content.cgi?category=18
The definition of "professional experience" is here:
http://www.isc2.org/cgi-bin/content.cgi?page=167
A copy of the Endorsement Form is here:
http://www.isc2.org/download/CISSP_Endorsement_Form.pdf
"Once a candidate has been notified of passing the CISSP examination,
he or she will be required to have his or her application endorsed by
a CISSP before the credential can be awarded. If no CISSP can be
found, another qualified professional with knowledge of information
systems or an officer of the candidates corporation can be used to
validate the candidate's professional experience.
The endorser will attest that the candidate's assertions regarding
professional experience are true to the best of their knowledge, and
that the candidate is in good standing within the information
security industry."
If you do not have any local CISSPs who can attest to your
experience, you can have another type of security professional who
knows you sign on your behalf, or you can have your supervisor or an
officer of your company attest to your experience.
Hope this helps! KW
