After delaying for a long time, finally I passed the exam in October and got awarded in November 2022. It was my first attempt for CISSP, and I passed it after 125 questions, which are the least number of questions one has to do. However, it took me about 3 hours. Similar to my UoW study on business analytics, CISSP has directed me towards a business point of view rather than my normal technical one. And it is worth it.
Congratulations, Long.
