Are GIAC exams open book (Unlike CISSP)?
I am currently CompTIA A+, Network+, and Security+ certified. As part of maintaining compliance with the DoDD 8570, I will also be sitting for the ISC^2 CISSP exam in the near future.
I have noticed that GIAC offers certifications with open-book exams that are regarded by DoDD 8570 as in equal standing to the CISSP. Given this, my boss was recently surprised to find that the ISC^2 CAP exam he took was not open-book!
Are the GIAC exams actually open-book? If so, is the test itself more difficult, to compensate for this?
