CISSP and CPE credits

Good news. I passed my CISSP exam. The exam was a little harder then I expected but doable. Now that I'm (almost) an official CISSP, it's time to earn CPE credits. The term “CPE” is an acronym for “Continuing Professional Education” points. If you earn 120 point in three years, you don't have to retake the exam to stay certified. If you visit (ISC²) on the Web, you'll find a list of qualifying CPE activities that include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Attending educational courses or seminars
• Attending security conferences
• Being an active member of an association chapter
• Listening to vendor presentations
• Completing university/college courses
• Providing security training
• Publishing security articles or books
• Serving on industry boards
• Self-study
• Volunteer work, including (ISC)² volunteer committee

I'm following a Postgraduate education at Solvay Business School: Exective Master in ICT Audit & Security. This should earn me most of my points. Another way includes Podcasts!! So let me list some interesting Podcasts:

• The Silver Bullet Security Podcast
• SploitCast
• A Day in the Life of an Information Security Investigator
• Security Now!
• The Security Catalyst

I think it's a good thing you have to prove that you're active in the field and keeping your knowledge up to date.
