1. How can you compare the CISSP examination with that of CISA? I just gave my
CISA exams in December 2005. Not sure whether I would get through. However,
as a
means of not losing the tempo of reading, I thought of giving a try for
CISSP. I
had heard that CISSP is more technical than CISA. I am a Chartered Accounant
(from India), having some exposure to Software Programming, and ERP
Implementation. I need your advise as to whether I would be in the right path
by
doing CISSP?
The CISSP is somewhat more technical than the CISA, but, more importantly, it
is also a lot broader. As a CA, you already have most of the background for
the
CISA, but possibly not a lot of that necessary for the CISSP. Also, it doesn't
sound as if you have the necessary work experience in systems security.
2. Can you suggest me a few books to do the reading?
