I’m proud to share that I’ve provisionally passed the CISSP (Certified Information Systems Security Professional) exam—and did so at the 100-question cutoff with more than 90 minutes to spare. This accomplishment was the result of months of dedicated studying, including: - Reading the Sybex Official CISSP Guide - Listening to CISSP-focused podcasts and video content - Completing countless practice exams and domain-by-domain reviews - Engaging in peer discussions and online study forums The CISSP is a rigorous exam that tests not only knowledge, but also your ability to think critically across eight diverse domains of cybersecurity. Finishing at 100 questions was both a challenging and rewarding experience. Next up: completing the endorsement process. Thank you to everyone who supported me throughout this process—your guidance and encouragement made a difference. #CISSP #CyberSecurity #InformationSecurity #ProfessionalDevelopment #CareerMilestone #SecurityLeadership
