FAQs

Yes, CISSP remains highly valuable since 2024 and beyond. With cyber threats growing more complex, employers continue to seek CISSP-certified professionals for their proven expertise in managing security risks across multiple domains.

The certification is globally recognized and often required for senior roles, making it a strong asset for career growth in cybersecurity.

To qualify as a CISSP, candidates must accumulate at least five years of paid work experience across two or more of the eight CISSP domains.

While this may seem like a significant requirement—especially for recent graduates—there are alternative pathways. For example, holding a four-year college degree or its regional equivalent allows candidates to reduce this requirement by one year, leaving four years of relevant experience needed.

Although this is still a considerable commitment, it offers a clearer route for those eager to begin working toward this prestigious certification.

CISSP holders are qualified for leadership and specialist roles such as Security Architect, Security Manager, IT Risk Manager, and Security Engineer. According to ERI SalaryExpert, the average annual salary for an IT Security Analyst in Malaysia is RM141,790, while Cybersecurity Engineers earn around RM173,365, with top-end salaries exceeding RM195,000 depending on experience and industry.

This earning potential is reinforced by Malaysia’s cybersecurity talent shortage. The Department of Statistics Malaysia (DOSM) has identified information security as a priority skill area under the country’s digital economy roadmap, driven by rising cybercrime and regulatory compliance needs. Critical sectors like banking, government, and telecommunications consistently list CISSP as a preferred qualification for senior security roles.

Pro Tip: Target industries with high compliance requirements—such as finance or telecom—as they offer some of the highest CISSP salary bands in Malaysia.

CISSP, administered by ISC2, is recognized under the U.S. DoD 8570/8140 standard and widely adopted as a requirement for senior security positions in both public and private sectors. It covers eight domains, from Security & Risk Management to Software Development Security, ensuring certified professionals can design, implement, and manage enterprise-grade security programs.

In ASEAN, regulatory shifts—such as Malaysia’s Cyber Security Bill 2024—are increasing demand for certified experts who can address governance, compliance, and operational security at scale. According to ISC2 2024 Cybersecurity Workforce Study, Asia-Pacific organizations face a cybersecurity workforce gap of over 2.2 million professionals, underscoring the need for verifiable credentials like CISSP.

Pro Tip: When applying for roles, reference how your CISSP expertise aligns with the eight domains to demonstrate strategic and technical breadth to employers.

Malaysia’s MyDIGITAL blueprint emphasises cloud adoption, AI integration, and secure digital infrastructure. With AI-powered threats and advanced persistent attacks rising, the zero trust model is becoming standard in enterprise security architectures. CISSP’s domains, including Security Architecture and Engineering and Communication & Network Security, equip professionals with the frameworks needed to deploy these models.

Gartner projects that by 2026, 60% of organizations will embrace zero trust as a starting point for security—a shift that demands leaders with structured, standards-based skills. For Malaysian enterprises undergoing cloud migration or AI adoption, CISSP-certified professionals bring the governance and implementation expertise to align security measures with these trends.

Pro Tip: Complement your CISSP with vendor-specific zero trust or cloud security training to position yourself as both a strategist and an implementer.
