The senior security credentials, CISSP, CISM and CEH, target different roles rather than competing for the same candidate. CISSP suits senior individual contributors and the architect track, CISM suits security managers, and CEH suits offensive-security roles.
This test samples the conceptual ground those exams share: risk management, security governance, access control models, network and application security, and incident response.
CISSP requires five years of experience (four with a degree waiver), costs 749 USD, and runs as a computer-adaptive exam of 100 to 150 items over up to three hours. CISM and CEH have their own experience thresholds and formats.
CISSP in particular rewards the managerial perspective over the technical one. Questions frequently offer two technically correct options, and the credited answer is the one reflecting risk-based, policy-first thinking.
