   1Password hands down is one of the best apps you could own. It’s even better if you have an iPhone.

   CISSP will always have its value. It’s like living in the air but don’t really think of the importance of it. When you go for changing your job - all certs, and of course CISSP, come in handy. And not all, but some companies actually see these certs differently. Speaking from experience. If you have one - it’s worthwhile maintaining it - specially when the company pays - the employer should always pay (unless you can not justify yourself!!).
