Why CISSP matters

CISSP is one of the most respected and widely recognised cyber security qualifications in the world. Awarded by (ISC)², it’s often compared to a master’s degree in IT security and is the certification of choice for senior roles in information security.


Holding a CISSP shows you have the skills and knowledge to protect information assets, manage risk and lead security programmes – which is why many government agencies and regulated industries require it for certain positions.

CISSP is a key step for professionals working towards roles like CISO, security architect or cyber security director. It’s also one of the highest-paying IT certifications globally. In 2022, average salaries for CISSP-certified professionals reached:

  • $104,863 in EMEA
  • $91,227 in APAC
