I passed the SSCP exam the first time using this book to study for it

I chose this SSCP certification study guide book out of several other ones. This book is definitely among the best SSCP study guides currently on the market. From my personal experience, I highly recommend it to any IT professional preparing for the SSCP exam and as an IT security reference book.

I used this book as the ONLY preparation material to study for the SSCP exam (nothing else, no "prep course" or anything else) and passed the exam the first time. This is the only book that one will need in order to be prepared for the SSCP exam, as long as one has solid IT security knowledge and work experience and only need to "brush up" on IT security topics that are covered in the exam. If you DO NOT have this prerequisite IT security knowledge and work experience, then I candidly recommend that one uses this book AND other resources (such as other SSCP prep guides, "prep courses", etc.) to adequately prepare for the SSCP exam.

This book definitely is the best SSCP prep guide for the money. It is very well written and the co-authors of this book clearly demonstrate that they are very knowledgeable about the technical aspects of IT Security that are covered in the SSCP exam. This book is very well organized and the chapters are arranged by the 7 core bodies of knowledge (CBK's) that are covered in the SSCP exam, making it easy to prepare for it by CBK and to understand ahead of time exactly what materials will be covered. Besides being an excellent SSCP prep guide, it is also an excellent reference guide, after one is SSCP certified.
