CISSP All-in-One Exam Guide

I have had the 5th Edition of this book (and therefore that version PDF) for quite some time now, but only recently have had the time to begin preparing for the exam. As I've heard there are some changes in the exam for which having this copy of the book will be handy, I went ahead with purchasing it. Personally, I could care less for the hardcopy book, instead I purchased it to obtain the eBook PDF version. It mentions in the description that Adobe Digital Editions is required. I wasn't entirely sure what this was, but figured it was a secure copy of the eBook.I have an iPad, and thought it wouldn't present a problem that the PDF was a Secure version. Come to find, however, that there is no native support for such a file on the iPad or via Adobe software for the iPad. I was able to find another app, Bluefire Reader, for the iPad that worked like a charm.In order to download the Secure PDF file follow these steps: 1. Download Adobe Digital Editions (tried to paste the url, but apparently Amazon will remove urls - so just google the app name), Install and Register an account from within the Adobe Digital Editions Application, 2. Insert the CD included with the book into your computer, 3. as long as your computer is setup to auto-run, a popup will give you several options, one of which will be to obtain the eBook (the file you download is not the eBook, but rather a .acsm file that is the key file to obtain the secure pdf, 4. double click on the .acsm file to launch Adobe Digital Editions and it will then download the secure .pdf file and you should be all set for your computer.In order to use the secure pdf file on an iPad, find the .pdf file (On OSX: your-home-directory/Documents/Digital Editions, On Windows: your-home-directory/Documents/My Digital Editions), install the Bluefire Reader App from the AppStore, login to the app using your Adobe Digital Editional account created in the steps above, then sync the file directly to the app via itunes. For more on this part of the process, follow the steps from the bluefire support page which you can find by google'ing "bluefire reader using library books".Hope this helps and removes any hesitation from purchasing this fine work. Cheers and good luck to all on the CISSP exam!

I read her book in 2006 almost every night after work for 6 straight months, passed the CISSP exam on my first try.Lost my CISSP credential 3 years later cuz I was too lazy to report my CPEs.I changed my mind and started reading the this version of book every night for the straight two months from mid February thru mid April in 2015, passed the exam and got recertified. A lot has changed for the last several years...!This is an excellent book. Her book has proven to work for anyone including those whose mother toungue is not English (I'm Japanese).I'm a slow reader as I cannot read English as fast as I read Japanese. Since I needed more time than normal people, I made an announcement to my wife about a temporary suspension of my husband role. I received a lot of what-the-hell-are-you-thinking-we-just-got-married-a-couple-of-years-ago types of questions and accusations. I somehow managed to win her understandings, and started living with this book for two months which seem to me like a year. I took the book to my lunch, starbucks after work, bedroom, car, and restroom (which turned out to be the best place to concentrate). Underlined too many sentences to the point I really could not tell what was really important. So I ended up writing summaries in the margin of each page, which was extremely time consuming, but seemed to have helped solidify my understandings. The exam was a lot harder than the paper-based exam I passed in 2006. And way harder than those practice questions in the book. I automatically and unconsciously hugged an old-gentleman receptionist at the test center when he handed me my test score.Although the book has many seemingly unnecessary jokes I couldn't even understand, the author wrote this book very well with difficult topics broken down into digestible pieces with lots of examples and analogies, which was very helpful and easy for me to understand. I am very shocked and disappointed to hear about Shon's recent dealth.Computer books are short-lived, and get old a lot quicker than dogs, but I would still recommend this book to anyone pursuing CISSP to at least build the foundation of info security. If a slow-learning foreigner with an ADD like myself can do it, then you know this book is good, and anyone can do the same (but you might want to do so before you get married ;-)

The book came just on time for my test, it has hard covers. I receipt the product in good conditions. was very help ful for may test.

Eu recomendo a leitura, para todos que buscam a certificação CISSP. É difícil escrever mais... todo mundo já sabe que é bom.

国内でCISSPの参考書となるのは、公式ガイドブックのみですが、発行が古いため、それに起因する不安を感じることがありました。たとえば、WPA2は公式ガイドに記載はありませんが、本試験には登場します。多くのCISSP受験体験記に書かれているとおり、公式ガイドは十分な情報を含みますが、時代に追いついていないことは不安になると思うので、そういう意味で非常に有用です。なお、この本にはAdobe Digital Editionの同本のライセンスがついてきます。

ITセキュリティの仕事を整理する上で役に立つ本です。日本語で体系的なガイドブックが発行されていないので、amazon.comでの評価をみて購入を決めました。難しい文法はないので読みやすい本ですし、種々のガイドラインの相互関連もあり、想像以上に役に立ちそうです。

Very good book, i just got my CISSP after 3 months of studying from this only (with 1 year experience in security, and 1 year MSc in security)...written in a friendly manner that you don't get bored of...she uses a lot of examples to help you understand, explains things so well... I don't find things very repetitive, i think she only repeats when there is a good reason to repeat (e.g. something that was mentioned few chapters away, where you are not expected to remember everything)...I think version 7 is out very soon... better to look out for that...The official book (ISC2) is so boring, you can't read two pages of it altogether
