Hi folks and Happy New Year!<br />
<br />
I can't seem to get an answer from ISC about this. If I want to take the exam to get CISSP certified, is ISC the only entity that offers the exam? For example, I can take a Microsoft exam at Prometric, or any number of places. Can I do the same with the CISSP exam?<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

CISSP Testing

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.
