CISSP ® : Certified Information Systems Security Professional Study Guide, Third Edition Review by Darrin L. Todd
Passed first time using this as my primary resource.
This was my main source to study for the CISSP. I couldn't stomach Harris' overt sexism, and annoying attempts at humor at the beginning of each paragraph in the AIO. The ISC2 Official guide simply made me want to stab myself in the eye with a fork - too dry. I couldn't read that book for 10 minutes before falling asleep. Now regarding this book: It had the correct amount of information and level of detail. It's moderately dry also, but come on, this is IT Security, not your favorite murder mystery novel. It came with a very decent CD that was well-worth the price alone. Now here's the disclaimer: Not one of these books is going to give you all you need to pass the exam, so pick at least two, so you get plenty of coverage. The exam is 50 percent knowledge and 50 percent logic, so be prepared to take plenty of practice exams and read the questions slowly and carefully on the real exam. If you master this book and do that, you'll be a CISSP. Good luck!
