One of the list members wrote to our moderator email
address with this comment. I would have to agree with
him that the CISSP is oriented towards computer
security. Though several domains deal with information
technology management issues such as risk assessment,
policy and procedure, business continuity / disaster
recovery, and legal issues, all of the domains are
geared towards protecting computer infrastructure.
If a person has solely a Physical Security background,
I would suggest that you consider obtaining a
certification from ASIS International such as the
Certified Protection Professional or the Physical
Security Professional. More information is available
on their website:
http://www.asisonline.org/certification/index.xml
These certifications are highly respected and more
focused on the 'fences, cameras, and dogs' aspects of
security.

I think it will be hard to pass the CISSP with some
solid Information Technology Backgroud. There are 10
domains in this exam and only 1 of them is related to
physical security..Infact, just to even qualify for
the exam, u need to have some IT Security experience.
What do u guys think?
