Reading about CISSP, this is listed as a requirement: - Possess a minimum of five years of direct full-time security work experience in two or more of the (ISC)² information security domains (CBK).

Looks more like an intermediate/senior level kind of certificate?

Yeah, it's not for getting into the field at all.

The cert you're pursuing, Security+, is much better suited for that.
