CISSP All-in-One Exam Guide

As someone on the journey to become a Certified Information Systems Security Professional, finding the right study material can be daunting. However, the "CISSP All-in-One Exam Guide, 6th Edition" by Shon Harris is an indispensable resource that stands out for its depth and breadth. This edition not only covers all the domains of the CISSP exam but also delves deep into complex topics with clarity and precision. Harris has a knack for breaking down intricate cybersecurity and information security concepts into digestible parts, making the learning process less intimidating and more accessible. One of the strengths of this book lies in its comprehensive coverage of the eight domains of the CISSP Common Body of Knowledge (CBK). From Security and Risk Management to Software Development Security, each chapter is meticulously detailed and accompanied by real-world examples and case studies. These illustrations help bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, which is crucial for anyone preparing to tackle the diverse scenarios presented in the CISSP exam. The technical depth of the book is impressive. It discusses advanced topics such as cryptographic systems, which are explained in a way that is understandable even to those new to the field. The sections on security architecture are particularly enlightening, offering insights into the design principles and frameworks that underpin secure systems. Furthermore, the book includes a variety of learning tools and resources to enhance study sessions. The practice questions at the end of each chapter are thought-provoking and mimic the complexity of the questions on the actual exam. The explanations provided for each answer not only justify the correct choices but also explain why the other options are incorrect, which reinforces learning. Another invaluable feature is the set of online resources linked to the book. The practice exams available online are robust and simulate the actual testing environment, providing an excellent gauge for one's preparedness. Although newer versions of this book now exist, I recommend it as a must-have as you progress through your professional IT journey.

I read her book in 2006 almost every night after work for 6 straight months, passed the CISSP exam on my first try. Lost my CISSP credential 3 years later cuz I was too lazy to report my CPEs. I changed my mind and started reading the this version of book every night for the straight two months from mid February thru mid April in 2015, passed the exam and got recertified. A lot has changed for the last several years...! This is an excellent book. Her book has proven to work for anyone including those whose mother toungue is not English (I'm Japanese). I'm a slow reader as I cannot read English as fast as I read Japanese. Since I needed more time than normal people, I made an announcement to my wife about a temporary suspension of my husband role. I received a lot of what-the-hell-are-you-thinking-we-just-got-married-a-couple-of-years-ago types of questions and accusations. I somehow managed to win her understandings, and started living with this book for two months which seem to me like a year. I took the book to my lunch, starbucks after work, bedroom, car, and restroom (which turned out to be the best place to concentrate). Underlined too many sentences to the point I really could not tell what was really important. So I ended up writing summaries in the margin of each page, which was extremely time consuming, but seemed to have helped solidify my understandings. The exam was a lot harder than the paper-based exam I passed in 2006. And way harder than those practice questions in the book. I automatically and unconsciously hugged an old-gentleman receptionist at the test center when he handed me my test score. Although the book has many seemingly unnecessary jokes I couldn't even understand, the author wrote this book very well with difficult topics broken down into digestible pieces with lots of examples and analogies, which was very helpful and easy for me to understand. I am very shocked and disappointed to hear about Shon's recent dealth. Computer books are short-lived, and get old a lot quicker than dogs, but I would still recommend this book to anyone pursuing CISSP to at least build the foundation of info security. If a slow-learning foreigner with an ADD like myself can do it, then you know this book is good, and anyone can do the same (but you might want to do so before you get married ;-)

Chaque chapitre est bien détaillé. Ce qui peut être un inconvénient lorsqu'on est pressé de passer la certification (ce qui était mon cas). Après 4 mois de lecture (environ 1h chaque soir de la semaine) je suis arrivé au chapitre 6/10. La date fatidique approchant (2 semaines), j'ai donc changé de stratégie et je n'ai lu que les encadrés et résumés. Seulement lorsque je voulais plus de détail, j'approfondissait en lisant le chapitre... Certains chapitres sont de bonnes révisions, d'autres sont de complètes découvertes (regulations and laws !) L'objectif est atteint puisque j'ai passé la certif avec succès.

Passaggio fondamentale nel percorso di certificazione CiSSP è lo studio di questo manuale che ti accompagna nei dieci moduli con chiarezza ed efficacia.

The book came just on time for my test, it has hard covers. I receipt the product in good conditions. was very help ful for may test.

Eu recomendo a leitura, para todos que buscam a certificação CISSP. É difícil escrever mais... todo mundo já sabe que é bom.

Guess this is the 'one-to'-have' if you consider the CISSP Certification. Latest Edition including all the Topics you need to know.
