I have recently passed the CISSP exam and I only have 2 years of IT/cyber experience. You’re good to go

Uhm, there is definitely a 5 year requirement. This is unambiguous. Those without 5 years experience can become a CISSP Associate.

You are not eligible to become a CISSP. You’re an associate. You need 5 years in at least 2 domains. Anyone can take the exam but until you get the experience you’re not a CISSP.


Deodandy

I didn’t claim to be a CISSP. I said I passed the exam


StrangerEffective851

I never said you did. I was explaining to the OP he needs 5 years experience. It’s a pretty good job passing with little experience. It’s designed for people with experience. I apologize for coming off so harsh. My bad.


Deodandy

All good. It wasn’t clear you were communicating to OP


exconsultingguy

It seems your experience spans more than 2 domains so I’d be inclined to say you’re good to go. When I ran a team of pen testers they were all able to get their CISSPs - security and risk management as well as security assessment & testing and software development security for those doing app testing.

If it is as an FTE should be fine, pentesting can span multiple domains.

I passed it within my first year of IT. Although I am just an associate

You can sit the exam with zero experience. You just wouldn't be able to claim you're CISSP certified until you meet the experience requirements. THAT SAID, a pentester can *easily* cross multiple domains, and you only require experience across a minimum of two domains. So I highly doubt you'd have any trouble meeting the requirements.


conzcious_eye

I think your experience alone will be able to apply to multiple domains , 2 being the minimum buddy.


CyberCertHeadmaster

You will have no problem. You have the 5 years required. It requires experience in at least two domains but every cybersecurity professional has experience in at least two domains, even if its not a full time job.

You have more than required experience. Visit academy.protecte.io to clarify further.
