Peter Spier Rochester NY - A Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP)

In the mid-1980s, the need for a standardized certification program that provided structure and demonstrated competence was realized by computer-security professionals. Keeping this need in mind, the Special Interest Group for Computer Security (SIG-CS) of the Data Processing Management Association (DPMA) in November 1988 brought together several organizations interested in this and in mid-1989, the International Information Systems Security Certification Consortium, commonly known as "(ISC)²" was established.

Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) refers to an independent information security certification offered by the not-for-profit International Information Systems Security Certification Consortium (ISC)². As per the latest (ISC)² reports, 67,744 members in 134 countries hold the CISSP certification.

CISSP was the first information security credential accredited by ANSI ISO/IEC Standard 17024:2003 accreditation in June 2004. Formally approved by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) in their Information Assurance Technical (IAT) and Information Assurance Managerial (IAM) categories, this certification has been accepted as a standard for the U.S. National Security Agency's ISSEP program.
