Someone please clarify on syllabus for CISSP - In 2026 - In context of inclusion of AI security

[stephennoel]

Dear Community, 

I am preparing for CISSP and planning to take it in 2026. I came across a post by ISC2 - ISC2 Publishes Guidance on the Inclusion of AI Security Concepts Across all its Certifications, which talks about AI security concepts inclusion across its certifications.

can someone clarify, if there would be update to the syllabus and if the study guides will be updated in accordance to this post.

also, if the study guides are not updated, then how to get the respective resource inline to the ISC2 requirements.

Please share your thoughts.

Thank you!

Best regards,

Stephen

@Early_Adopter I am a big supporter of the CC. I have been helping our workforce earn and keep their cybersecurity certifications. Hundreds were earning their Security+. While I maintain mine because of our workforce, I cannot recommend it anymore. While not CompTIA’s fault, “schools” sell it with I call the big lie. So while CompTIA brags about over 700K certified, I think is kind of embarrassing to brag about. This is a certification that does not require experience, and those people are the competition. Those outside of work who have been fed the big lie have even asked me after passing Security+ where the jobs were like they are just handed out. I have noticed with people that they really don’t treat that certification like people do with ISC2 or ISACA ones. CompTIA has no minimum requirements on continuing education; so my 2 certifications from them expire in 2030 and 2031 if do nothing else. I could go on but am not going to criticize their concept of continuing education anymore here. I know that I was surprised at how many CISSPs were offended by the CC like it somehow devalued their CISSP. I really like it as a stepping stone with the SSCP towards the CISSP. I was very happy that ISC2 made their AMF much less than other certification holders. I also find it a great start for anyone even considering the CISSP. I definitely understand your thoughts. I just have approached this from a different place with what I do to help others. I know that most peoples’ experiences are probably much different than mine.

Thank you all for the information shared in this thread.

I didn't know about this update until I've ordered and received my study kit based in the 2024 study books from Sybex and Packt. Since I'm also studying for the CompTIA SecAI+ I think I'll have most of the updated content covered there.

Best of luck to us all who are in this journey to become CISSP certified during this content changes.
