CISSP Just passed

I just took the CISSP on September 12th, 2004 in Orlando. I just got word that I passed. I used Ms. Bragg's book as my primary study material. I also used the All-In-One book as well but the Bragg book was my main source of study. One thing that was very helpful for me was the Fast Facts section. I sat over breakfast the morning of the exam and did some last minute study over this section. This is a great book!!! I've used the QUE Certification books as my primary study for the A+ and Network+ exams and passed them all on the first time around. They allways have the fast facts section which is so helpful.

My choice to teach by

I use this book to teach test prep courses for my customers and it works great. I've reviewed the other CISSP books - from the perspective of an instructor and of a student - and this one seems to be the most user friendly of them all. Lots of good practice questions too.

Good reading, great 'domain' explenations.

I'm preparing for the CISSP, so I do have a few different books lying around (CISSP Examination Textbooks by S Vallabhaneni = Awful reading, but good factual references; CISSP Prep Guide: Gold Edition by Krutz & Vines = Good reading, Great questions and decent references) and this book. After having done a few 'domains' with the Krutz/Vines book I switched to this guide (available on O'Reilly's Safari site). I like the style of the chapters, the way the domains are covered, the topics are well explained, yet it is lacking on factual details. One strong point is the author's use of sample case situation to emphasis the review points.Over the past week, this book has become my first approach to each domain, using the Krutz/Vines as a very quick checkup before trying the questions from the CISSP Prep Guide.According to me, the preperation for the CISSP cannot be based solely on a single book. So I do recommend using this CISSP Training Guide as the center stage for training. As the title says it's a Guide, and will put down the right foundations for each domain. Then you could pick information in other books that have more details. I would also highly recommend to anyone preparing for the CISSP, to take the time to supplemented the knowledge by doing searches on the internet for supporting documentation, which Roberta Bragg gives as URL pointers at the end of each chapter.

Great Book

I was skeptical after seeing that last review, but after reading much of the book, I'm not sure what that last reviewer is talking about. If you're new to security CISSP isn't for you -- try Security+ -- nor is this book. If you're in over your head, don't blame the book.

Very well put together.

Over the past year I have found more and more the need to qualified security professionals. I have also found that security certifications are more in demand than ever. This 700 page manual is an excellent resource for the certification of CISSP. Broken down into three parts part 1 breaks down the exam objectives by covering such topics as access control, which is an excellent read. Also in this section you cover security management, which I found to be helpful in my job. Other topics in network fundamentals, disaster recovery and law and ethics. Part 2 is the final review of the entire 10 domains, which has a practice exam included. Part 3 is used for appendices and other material. There is a cd included, using the Prep Logic testing engine, and you can order more exams from the Prep Logic website. The book has exercises and test and review questions in each chapter. Overall the book can be used in a self study mode or better yet in the formal classroom setting.
