CISSP Study Guide

Purchased this book to go along with a CISSP prep course that I was co-leading on recommendation of the other instructor. I wish I had used it when I was studying for the exam. Very clear and the helpful test hints are right on from what I can determine. Students seem to agree - Eric makes the topics readable and focuses on the main points. No prep guide is sufficient in and of itself so don't expect that, but if you have completed some studying/training and mostly understand the domains, I believe this book can help you fill in the gaps and know where to read further.

Passed the exam on 1st attempt. This book is easy to read. The factoids (critical information for a topic) are well summarized without the noise you typically see in other technical/professional study book. It is concise, 600 or so pages vs. 1000+ in others. The authors are good, or at least made an effort, at distilling the key information that one need to know for CISSP exam. While I cannot say 100% that it was this book since I also used the Sybex 7th Official Study Guide and the 11th Hour along with my bootcamp training class, it definitely helps!

I passed my CISSP on my first attempt today!! I used CISSP Study Guide Third Edition, by Eric Conrad, Simple CISSP by Phil martin from audible (driving to and from work every day) and I used the CISSP Official (ISC)2 Practice Tests Second edition by Mike Chapple – I cannot tell you how important this last one is. Purchasing the book gives you access to online tests which is what I used and it helped identify weak areas and areas to improve on. All of these together helped me get to the level to pass. It was a lot of studying over a few months, and I’m so happy to have had these study materials.

1st, i passed!!! HOWEVER it was absolutley INSANE. Just to get you in the right frame of mind, see if you can answer this question: Which answer BEST represents a question you should never ask people: a. How much they weigh b. How much money they make c. What their religious preference is d. What their sexual orientation is Staying consistent with this analogy, This book is sufficient enough to pass the exam as it will cover all about weight, salaries, religion and sexual orientations. However, it (just like any other book) will stop at definitions and calculations and maybe a few details. It gives you enough to where you can utilize your critical thinking skills to answer questions. There really is no point in reading a bunch of books because the test is only about 20% studying and memorizing. Its 40% experienced based and 40% your ability to apply critical and analytical skills. Yes you need to know the material so you'll even have a blazing chance at getting the question right, but don't think your going to read a book and go and regurgitate information. I used this book and Darrell Gibsons Oficcial Study Guide book but in retrospect I could have used either one instead of both. Ill give this book 4 stars bc none of the questions in the book or online material is even remotely close to what your going to see on the test....not even a little bit kind of sort of close. If you don't have experience in IT or engineering and you don't have excellent critical thinking skills you will struggle with this test. I know people that have gone through 3 or 4 books, trancenders, etc and STILL failed bc they don't have the experience and don't have good critical thinking skills. Having said this, reading books is only going to do so much for you. Its going to come down to you sitting down, being patient, relaxing, reading each question thoroughly and reading each of the choices even more thoroughly and coming to a final conclusion.

I preferred this study guide over the official study guide. It's much more concise and explains concepts in easy to digest language. The book is a few years old at this point, but while technology changes, the core of security mindset really hasn't changed much. Use this book in conjunction with a more recent video course and you'll be in great shape to pass your exam.

I passed the CISSP exam on my second attempt in August and this is the only book that I used. My first attempt was in May and I failed because I was weak in the programming and SDLC areas. Those are chapters 7 and 8 in the book. What I did was read the book backwards and spent more time in those sections. You can't know everything for the CISSP exam. Brain dumps won't prepare for this exam. If you really want to pass this exam, I'll tell you this: cybersecurity is about risk management. Once you understand that, you'll look at the context of the questions differently and the answer you pick will surprise you. Eric does provide very useful hints: human life is paramount; decisions should be made by management.

Have the hard copy and also bought the kindle version. Used it to study for the exam which I passed. I had an opportunity to meet the author and he is very knowledgeable in the field. The material was very accurate and consolidated. Perfect, for a study guide as the CISSP covers a very broad topic base. I recommend buying it if you’re looking to separate the "wheat from the Chaff". Also a great long-term technical resource.

Eric's book is direct and to the point, and also contains updated material pertaining to the 8 domain restructure. However, I will say that I would be surprised if someone could pass the CISSP with studying this book -alone- or as the primary reference source. Some concepts and topics require more input than this book provides leaving the need to perform research with other materials and sources. Meaning, his explanations are too vague or incomplete. In addition, there are topics on the exam which this book will not cover, therefore unless you're already familiar with them or have read other books, you will never know. I recommend this book as a supplement to a more comprehensive book such as Shon Harris, who can be long-winded, but explains the material well, and covers much of what you'll need.

c'est un très bonne synthèse de l'ouvrage officiel . je conseil également , en complément , du même auteur : Eleventh Hour CISSP®: Study Guide bon courage !

英語版なので自分で翻訳する必要があります。これが結構大変です、Google翻訳で翻訳しまくっています。

Muy bueno es un libro que me ayudara a obtener la certificación seguro...y con suerte también. Ahora a revisar el examen.

I bought this guide in preference to the official study guide which had awful reviews. I started studying from this book and then went on a CISSP course that required a copy of the official study guide so I had to purchase it in the end. This book is far easier to read and much more accurate than the official guide (which is not only overly verbose, it also contains many mistakes) I gave up on the official guide and just stuck to this one. It has a companion website with a bank of 500 test questions which were very useful. The course I went on was distinctly average so I'd say I passed the exam pretty much on the strength of this guide.

Excellent condition
