CSSLP Exam To Change

Hello everyone!

 

The CSSLP exam will be changing on September 15, 2020. We are providing 8 months notice regarding these updates - and anyone who is currently registered for this exam will be getting an email from us directly - but I wanted to share the information here with you right away. 

 

First, the exam time will change from 4 hours to 3 hours. This is in line with the rest of our English language exams as far as the timing goes. 

 

Second, some of the domains will be changing - as well as their weights. The red items are changing:

 

Effective July 2017 - September 14, 2020
# Domains  Weights

2 Secure Software Requirements 14%
3 Secure Software Design 16%
4 Secure Software Implementation / Programming 16%
5 Secure Software Testing 14%
6 Secure Lifecycle Management 10%
7 Software Deployment, Operations and Maintenance 9%
8 Supply Chain and Software Acquisition 8%
    100%

Hello @cyberdude

Thank you for you response! 

 

The CBK has not been updated but, I would say that there is a lot of good information that is still relevant to the CSSLP.  I would also encourage you to download the Exam Outline as that is a good reference for self-study. In addition to the Exam Outline, we also have a CBK reference list that would be helpful with self-study https://www.isc2.org/Certifications/References. We also have flash cards available for an additional self-study resource. 

  

If you have any additional questions regarding the current CSSLP Online Instructor-Led course or any of the resources provided, please do not hesitate to contact me directly and I will provide the assistance needed.

 

I hope this helps!

Hi,

 

I am looking for some additional / updated materials to prepare the CSSLP, with no success so far.

 

Why isn’t there any practice questions book as in most of the other (ISC)2 certifications? I guess that many people is in our situation and would like to see something like this soon.

 

Thanks and Regards,
