They’re different.

CIPT is much more generic and to be honest, kind of weak in many senses. They’re revamping it as we speak and the new updated version has just been released. Noticed how many took the older version recently to run away from this latest update? I’ve been waiting for the update.

CDPSE is the real thing; but it’s not for the faint of heart (parts of architecture as an example), so CS background or around 8-10y exp in tech should be enough.

If your background is Legal I would start by the books and return here. Pls comment if further insights are needed.

Thoughts on the new CIPT exam if you've attempted? I'm also considering it and theres a beta version discount for December

Also, I had some Interest in CyberSecurity and I grinded it on my pre-final semester at Uni, should I try on that path as well or should I stick to development?
