Anyone ever take certified third party risk assessor exam? I keep failing it, 2nd time. Should I just move on to another type of cert like CISSP? There isn’t much material to learn from for CTPRA either but I see so much material for CISSP etc

Everyone does say cissp but if I can’t even pass the small cert Ctpra how the heck will I pass cissp lol. Also is it a bad idea to do masters in cybersecurity too? I have a undergrad in IT from top 25 colleges already but would like to specialize in cyber even tho I already have a job in cyber idk trying to find better job and move up

Maybe go slower. Not everyone can just rip off certifications like it’s nothing… There’s nothing wrong with that or you.

Maybe you can go to CRISC, it’s about whole RM and I think one of the most complete certs of IRM

What about for later stage stuff like growth equity? (Not interested in PE).
