professional experience for CCSP

[moisofie]

Hi , I am currently working as a support analyst for an application hosted in AWS. On your website ,it says "Candidates must have ①a minimum of five years cumulative paid work experience in information technology, of which ②three years must be in information security and ③one year in one or more of the six domains of the CCSP CBK. " I assume if I continue working in the same role for 5 years,I might satisfy ① and ③，but not ② ...?

Is there any detailed explanation about the requirement on prefessional experience so that I can have a better understanding ? I hope to better plan my career to meet all three requirements.

Thank you.

You might not be ready for the CCSP just yet. The CCSP is almost like a CISSP concentration. It's not a cloud cert as much as a security credential that is very cloud-focused.

If you want to get out of customer support and into security, I would look at something like the Security+. Paul Jerimy has a really good mapping security credentials:

That might help you plan what you want to do. If you want to get some work experience in information security, I'd be on the lookout more for the small company experience where you will multiple hats. You might need to take a pay cut, but if you can tolerate that for few years, it may pay off in terms of experienced gained.
