Product Description
Product Description
Candidates for the CISSP exam can now go directly to the source for study materials that are indispensable in achieving certification. The Official (ISC)2 Guide to the CISSP Exam is derived from the actual CBK review course created and administered by the non-profit security consortium (ISC)2. In addition to being an invaluable study guide, this book is detailed enough to serve as an authoritative information security resource. Both of the guide's co-authors are CISSPs, and the entire text has been reviewed and approved by Hal Tipton, Co-Founder and Past President of ISSA and Co-Founder of (ISC)2. The ten subject areas included, each a section from the Common Body of Knowledge (CBK), have been reviewed by multiple CISSPs, all of whom are recognized leaders in their fields.A CISSP certification garners significant respect, signifying that the recipient has demonstrated a higher standard of knowledge, proficiency, and ethics. This book ensures that a student is fully prepared to face the exam's rigorous criteria. It is crafted to match the overall theme of the exam, which emphasizes a general, solutions-oriented knowledge of security that organizations want.

Terminology and Definitions,
By Jimbo (London UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Official (Isc)2 Guide to the Cissp Exam (Hardcover)
I recently passed the exam, and can honestly say that it is essential to have this book, if only as a reference. The main reason is that the Terminology and Definitions used in this book are “Official” meaning you can expect to see them used in the exam (although not always in industry.) I found that the various books differ slightly, and although this may sound insignificant, it can lead to incorrect answers. Remember that the exam is about providing the “best answer” so if one book uses the term “Separation of Duties” and another uses “Segregation of Duties” which is the better term to remember? Another point is that very few people are experts in all 10 domains, and certainly no author I have read so far. This book was written by several people, who are experts in different domains, which makes the content a bit more acceptable. Admittedly, the book is not that exciting to read, but it contains all the necessary ingredients to pass the exam. Some “easier reading” books explain concepts a bit better, but have a surprising number of factual errors mostly because the author is not fluent in the specific domain. Also the balance tends to be a problem, where authors focus too much on their favourite domain and focus less on other domains. This can lead to a misconception about the balance and difficulty of questions in the exam. A good idea might be to read several books on the subject, but keep referring back to this one to make sure you are still on track.

Who wants to be a CISSP?,
This review is from: Official (Isc)2 Guide to the Cissp Exam (Hardcover)
The book gives a comprehensive overview of the field of information security and helped me preparing for my CISSP exam. The book however is a typical first print in that it has a lot of (small) errors and some of the pages with the answers to the sample questions in my book are missing. Also, the book is written by Americans which can be annoying for the rest of the world (who is Captain Crunch anyway?)

Its the right book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Official (Isc)2 Guide to the Cissp Exam (Hardcover)
I have just attended a boot camp for the CISSP course. Many other students had other books and none of them covered the full syllibus except this one.It drops a star because some of it was over detailed. It can be said that that CISSP is now looking a little old fashioned, this is not the books fault the qualification needs updating. For example you'll need to know DES like the back of your hand but tki / aes only gets a nod. How high should a fence be?
