I'd be interested in the same information. I've been doing security
exclusively since April of 2000 and have a long ways to go before I meet
the ISC(2)'s four year minimum experience qualifier which goes into effect
January 2003. I'm considering dropping the study mode for the SSCP\CISSP
track and devoting my attentions to the SANS GIAC certs, which sound more
realistic to me anyway (depth in one subject you can use instead of breadth
on every subject with no real-world applicability). If there are more
materials on the SSCP besides the study guide put out by ISC(2), I'd
probably still consider the SSCP test this year, but there is seemingly
little material on it since it is a test that is supposed to cater to
system and network admins who also must wear the security administrator
hat. Anyone taken the SSCP test? If so, what study materials were
beneficial to you? Would anyone recommend the SSCP over taking the GIAC
certs?

Has anyone taken the SSCP exam? If so, would you
comment on whether or not the CISSP Prep Guide
could be used to prepare one for the SSCP? I have
been in I.T. 4 years now, 3 of them as a System
Manager. I was going to attempt the CISSP later this
year but feel that I have not had a solid 3 years
experience in security. As a result, I've decided to
take the SSCP first. Unfortunatley, I'm unable to find
any study resources specifically for the SSCP. So,
will the CISSP study guides from the relevant
domains properly prepare one for the SSCP?

Scott.
