1) Paperback Book CISSP For Dummies (For Dummies (Computer/Tech)) by For Dummies. I used the ´look inside´ option at Amazon and tried ´cryptography´... Well... to my surprise, the first couple of pages felt like reading Shon Harris´ "CISSP All-in-one Exam Guide". It was only a slightly condensed version of her book but the attempts at humor and light-heartedness were expanded. "Hmmmm...", I thought. Shon must have condensed her "All-in-one" and repackaged it as a "... for Dummies" product. But, then, I looked at the front page and I couldn´t find her name there. She wasn´t one of the 2 authors.
This is very interesting.
¤ 2) Paperback Book CISSP For Dummies (For Dummies (Computer/Tech)) by For Dummies. Nutshell review - If you want a very fast, high level, quick, shallow, big picture overview of the CISSP exam then this will do. However, you will not pass the exam on this alone.¤ 3) Paperback Book CISSP For Dummies (For Dummies (Computer/Tech)) by For Dummies. This book is suitable both as a starter and final review material.
For newbies, it provides a bird´s eye view of CISSP and quickly
get you into the mood. For the more experienced IT professionals,
it provides a quick summary of knowledge points.
I bought it two weeks before the CISSP exam ... it helped me clearing my head.
For more extensive coverage, you can look for other CISSP `tome´ books, such as "Handbook of Information Security Management". My advice is: don´t read too many books. CISSP exam is more about security common sense, less about those nitty gritty details. Most of exam takers have a full-time job, it´s important to focus the energy/time wisely. It´s very hard to read extensively for couple of months ... It took me about one month of dedicated study ... your mileage may vary¤ 4) Paperback Book CISSP For Dummies (For Dummies (Computer/Tech)) by For Dummies. Good day to all,
Once again the CISSP for Dummies book offers a nice, concise, and to the point overview of the CISSP CBK. I would definitively recommend this book as a second step in your studies. It has lots of tips and tricks that will most certainly help you on the real exam. The book is very well done and it even has some jokes to make some of the very dry subjects a bit easier to digest.
This book is probably NOT enough by itself for a beginner, it would have to be supplemented if you don´t have 8 or more years of experience in the security field. However, it is a great tool to use for experienced people and people who wish to do one final review of the key points within the 10 domains wihout having to spend three weeks reading some of the other very extensive book.
This book combine with the CISSP All In One from Shon Harris would give you an edge in preparing to pass the CISSP exam.
I strongly recommend it to all.
