I finally got around to taking a CISSP prep course and exam earlier this summer, and FWIW I passed and my official certificate arrived today. I am now a Certified Information Systems Security Professional.

It is the ugliest piece of paper I have seen in quite awhile, I sure hope that the CISSP code of ethics doesn’t preclude me from criticizing someone’s decision to put a dark gold strip directly above an olive green stripe!

I will scan the certificate when I get home so you can bask in the ugliness of it!
