Dear All, I recently completed my CISSP review studies, passed the exam, and completed the CISSP endorsement process. This is a very worth while endeavor and, as someone with many years of Internet security and risk management experience, I highly recommend the CISSP certification process for everyone. Reviewing the 10 common bodies of knowledge (CKB) has value for everyone in the IT business and I am very pleased to have taken the time to review the material and complete the exam. For my self-study review, I purchased four books via Amazon: (1) The CISSP Pre Guide - Gold Edition by Ronald L. Krutz and Russell Dean Vines, (2) All-In-One CISSP Exam Guide, Third Edition by Shon Harris, (3) Official (ISC)2 Guide to the CISSP Exam by Susan Hansche, John Berti and Chris Hare, and (4) CISSP Certified Information Security Professional Training Guide by Roberta Bragg. Each of these texts came with a CDROM for practicing test questions on a Windows PC and covered the 10 CISSP CBKs. I found the first three CISSP books in my list to be helpful. Of those three, the most helpful was The CISSP Prep Guide - Gold Edition by Krutz and Vines. This book is concise, well written, and easy to read. The CDROM is excellent and nearly error free. The text is well thought out and informative. I also recommend Shon Harris' book, with reservation. I found it hard to get to the required CISSP information, at times, due to the attempts at humor in the book. The CDROM of sample test questions were also very good, albeit not as rich in features as the book by Krutz and Vines. The Official (ISC)2 Guide to the CISSP Exam by Susan Hansche, John Berti and Chris Hare was a disappointment. This book read just like a cut-and-paste from the Internet and other documents; and the companion CDROM was full of errors and omissions. After a while I stopped using this text book and focused on the first two. I am sorry to say that CISSP Certified Information Security Professional Training Guide by Roberta Bragg was a complete disappointment from every perspective. The CDROM example tests were riddled with errors and omissions. For those interested in my self-study technique, I took each book and studied one (sometimes two) of each of the CBK chapters each day. Then, I repeated the same process for each of the other books, except for the book by Bragg, which was dropped for reasons mentioned. I took all the sample tests repeatedly, before and after and then again. I must have practiced between 4000-5000 sample questions. It was challenging and enjoyable. In summary, I highly recommend Krutz and Vines and also recommend, with reservation, the book by Shon Harris. No single book can cover the entire CBK of the CISSP. The more you study, the better. Best of luck on your CISSP studies. The CISSP is certainly an experience that will improve your knowledge of the field of IT security and benefit the profession at-large.

As someone who is involved with networking and networking security, there are a few items you need to be aware of before reading this book. First, dummy down! The networking parts of this book are sometimes misleading and incorrect. Don't argue with the book. Take note of the error and on the test if asked, give them the erroneous answer. You're not spending $500 to argue with them. Do what you need to pass.
My background is with the NYPD (police officer and academy instructor), networking (cisco hardware), and networking security. I run a consulting business and have a few of the fortune 500 still as customers since leaving the NYPD. This book is not a replacement for experience, but will provide 90% of what is needed on the exam. If you are green and take the CISSP with this book alone, you'll pass. That's enough to make you dangerous to yourself. Use the certification as a stepping stone to get in to a smaller shop or as a rookie in a larger place. In no way represent yourself as seasoned with this book as a backing alone.
This book will be enough to pass the exam. Memorizing the book will not enable you to pass. You must understand the material and its context.

The book was advertised as new and i paid for expedite shipment. But unfortunately, the book was delivered via regular shipment, the book was used (not new), and it did not contain the CD for the book.
Nevertheless, when i returned the book, my money was refunded. Still, i lost time in waiting for the book, returning the book and getting my money back. And i even incurred shipping charges when i returned the book.
