CPE credits are earned for experience exceeding that of normal on-the-job training or activities. Typically, education qualifying for CPE credits will be gained outside the workplace. If work is done as part of one’s normal job, that activity will not qualify for CPE credits, but any research done in association with that activity can qualify.

If you're interested, you can review the CPE Activities page, though by far, the best way is to read the InfoSecurity Professional Magazine = 8 CPE Points

Reading White Paper - Info Security Mag

There's an quarterly online members-only magazine, which is free to download and can earn you 2 CPE's for every read. This is for members only so it's an easy way to apply further validation that you actually read it.

I downloaded issue #21 and noticed that it's actually a magazine that I would happily read instead of the tedious articles of some pretentious fat-head trying to make a name for himself ----

In order to submit the credits, there's a quiz associated to each issue to prevent the individuals solely seeking for CPE points. It's a tiny bit vulgar because it initially feels that the magazine is promoting

The magazine is worth a read not just for the CPE points. Comparatively, it's a far better read than, lets say, a common main-street fashion magazine, which predominately includes page after page of advertisement of naked guys with a chiseled jaw and only wearing underwear and the occasional page on people writing in complaining why their male gentiles are below average.

Anyhow, in my opinion, this is the best way to accumulate the CPE points. Please leave comments on your suggestions on how to accumulate CPE points.
