The field of cybersecurity is always evolving, and so is the need for software security. To maintain the accuracy, relevance and excellence of ISC2 exams, we regularly conduct Job Task Analysis (JTA) studies to review and update exam outlines. JTAs are a methodical process used to determine tasks that are performed in the field by current credential holders, as well as the knowledge and skills required to execute those tasks successfully.
This review process is continual for all ISC2 certifications, resulting in regular updates to exams and exam outlines. A CSSLP JTA Workshop is tentatively scheduled for February 4-6, 2025.
As we prepare for this workshop, we would like to hear from all active CSSLP certification holders. To assist in this process, we are asking for individuals who hold the CSSLP to review the current CSSLP exam outline and consider the following questions:
- Do you believe that the current CSSLP exam outline adequately covers the existing and emerging cybersecurity techniques and threats CSSLP practitioners are facing in their jobs today?
- If not, what sort of topics/content should be added to the CSSLP exam outline?
- What content currently on the CSSLP exam outline is no longer relevant to today’s professionals?
Please send your answers to these questions to csslpjta@isc2.org no later than January 20, 2025. Please include your member ID # in your email. Your comments will be compiled and presented to the JTA Committee for further review.
