A few roles that use CISSP are an IT Security Manager who ensures everything cybersecurity-wise is running smoothly, an Ethical Hacker who works with the IT team to test for vulnerabilities, and a Penetration Tester whose job it is to test the integrity of a company's current systems. Additional CISSP job titles to explore include those involving forensics, analysis, engineering, and information assurance.
