Overview
What is OSCC-SJD?
OSCC-SJD (OffSec CyberCore Certified) is the certification for the SJD-100 course (Secure Java Development Essentials, launched March 2025), aimed at Java developers with security responsibility. The exam is hands-on and proctored over six hours: identify and fix five real vulnerabilities in live lab systems (points 25/25/20/15/15, passing at 75 of 100 points), with results immediately after submission and no documentation requirement. Content covers secure coding across input validation, output encoding, session and cookie security, logging and error handling, and secure database interaction. Strength: a practical fix-the-code proof instead of multiple choice. Limitation: a young title with limited market recognition so far; valid for three years with a CPE requirement.

Beide verlangen fünf Jahre Erfahrung, beide kosten auf den ersten Blick ähnlich viel. Trotzdem führen CISSP und CISM in verschiedene Berufe. Der Vergleich mit den Zahlen, die Kursanbieter nicht zeigen.
CISM oder CISA? Zwei ISACA-Wege, eine Richtungsentscheidung
Beide kommen von der ISACA, verlangen fünf Jahre Erfahrung und kosten fast dasselbe. Der Unterschied liegt nicht im Preis, sondern in der Rolle: steuern oder prüfen. Der Vergleich mit den Zahlen und der Rollen-Abbildung.
CC oder Security+? Der Gratis-Einstieg und der Arbeitsmarkt-Klassiker
Beide sind Einsteiger-Zertifikate ohne Zulassungshürde, beide decken die Grundlagen der Cybersicherheit ab, und trotzdem stehen sie für verschiedene Strategien: das eine als niedrigschwelliger, zeitweise kostenloser Start, das andere als etablierter Nachweis mit Gewicht im Arbeitsmarkt. Der Vergleich mit den Zahlen und der gegenläufigen Kostenlogik.
