I have a CISSP and I do NOT have a B.S. I think that was an old CISSP
requirement. They do require some experience in the field and that
experience can be shortened if you are good at the B.S. part;)

achieved SANS silver GCIH and CGNA in the past year and a SCP (snort

Disturbing that a BS degree is required. I know a lot of bright people
without degrees. Mostly due to lack of challenge, rode the 90's tech
boom, etc.
