I had a CISSP certification, I let it expired, I couldn't afford traveling and going to conferences to get the Continuous Education points. If you do the math, attending webminars, reading books and writing reviews don't get you all the points you need every year (I can't imagine the fraud that must be going on for people trying to get those points). So I said "fuck it". Funny thing is, I'm way more experience in security now (with CISSP expired due to stupid points) than when I got it and was certified. Joke and money-grabbing scheme no doubt.
