The following announcement was released by (ISC)2 Management on April 7, 2010:
"We are proud to announce the availability of Computer-Based Testing (CBT) for the Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) credential.
The CSSLP aims to stem the proliferation of software vulnerabilities by establishing best practices and validating an individual's competency in addressing security issues throughout the software lifecycle. Code-language neutral, it is applicable to analysts, developers, software engineers, software architects, project managers, software quality assurance testers, programmers and others involved in the software lifecycle.
The CSSLP is the first (ISC)2 certification exam to make the transition from paper-and-pencil delivery and will be available at nearly 500 Pearson Professional Centers, Pearson VUE Authorized Test Center Selects and Pearson VUE Authorized Test Centers located on U.S. military installations around the world.
(ISC)2 will gradually phase in computer-based testing for all of its credential exams over the next three years. This decision was made based on the projected growth for the profession worldwide, which the most recent (ISC)2 Global Workforce Study ("GISWS") CBT also gives us the ability to enhance the convenience, security and fairness of the examination process. Pearson VUE is the global leader in computer-based testing for information technology, academic, government and professional testing programs.

Our transition to CBT is an exciting opportunity for our candidates and a milestone for our credential programs! As always, we thank you for your support of this investment in (ISC)2's future.
