The requirement that candidates hold a CISSP certification was likely a factor in such a high percentage of jobs going unfilled, said the story. CISSP stands for Certified Information Systems Security Professional. In other words, organizations are not able to &#8220;fast-track anyone to being certification-ready&#8221; and thus aren&#8217;t able to fill positions.<\/p>\n<p>Although the increased demand for the CISSP\u00a0 &#8212; (ISC)<sup><span style=\"font-size: x-small\">2<\/span><\/sup>&#8216;s flagship certification &#8212; is great news at one level, it misses a larger point. The shortage of certified security experts reflects, to a certain extent, a lack of understanding about the types of certifications professionals can earn, and the requirements associated with them. I would encourage the US government and every industry building its cyber workforce to take the time to fully understand the career path of cyber professionals &#8212; and to do so prior to assessing their personnel needs and publishing job opening requirements.<\/p>\n<p>More available from Information Week by clicking <a href=\"http:\/\/www.informationweek.com\/government\/cybersecurity\/luring-the-elusive-cyber-security-pro\/d\/d-id\/1204391\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #0066cc\">here<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A recent Washington Post article reported that the D.C. region has more cyber job openings than any other area in the US.
