What is new in CISSP 2024?

Published On: 20/02/2024 Author: MKK

What is new in CISSP 2024 Refresh?

The CISSP exam, a top-tier gold standard security certification, is familiar with this melody. ISC2 usually update every three years to keep up with the changing market. We are now at the beginning of the latest CISSP upgrade. What outcomes might we anticipate from these changes?

We examine them in depth in this article so that you can comprehend what is new, what is not, and what this means for aspiring CISSP professionals.  In essence, this refresh to the examination itinerary is negligible in my opinion. Let’s see it in ground reality

When & what is refreshing?

An enhancement to the CISSP examination is scheduled for April 15, 2024. We are aware that ISC2 places significant emphasis on precision and pertinence. Through their steadfast commitment to these periodic exam updates, they demonstrate their unwavering determination to safeguard the CISSP certification’s esteemed standing within the information security sector.

Preserving the exam’s alignment with the practicalities and obstacles encountered by contemporary cybersecurity practitioners is more important than merely advocating for change.

Here is the overall domain weightage table: To be precise only two domains are changing as far as weightage is concerned which is domain1 – Security & Risk Management and domain8 – Software Development Security, rest are all unchanged.
