This is the book that will get you pass the CISSP exam!

I used the CISSP for Dummies as a first book to get me in the mode and hit this book hard over and over again. It helped me to pass the test on my first try. It has enough details and excellent test questions. I'm not sure about the ISSEP parts as I did not go through it. At $6.99 when I...

Not bad, but the "Official" study guide is better IMO

This book is ok, but I think the book sold by ISC2 is much better. I only used this as a "supplement" to the official guide.There are so many CISSP products on the market and I think most of them are BS (i.e. Shon Harris' $1000 review product). Maybe if you know nothing about security and have...

Passed my CISSP Test today!!

I received notice today that I passed the CISSP test, and this book was the main source I used for studying. It is thorough without giving you extraneous information you don't need for the test. The writing style is adequately pleasant to get through for a technical book. Having the book in PDF...

Another Great Guide

This is another great guide from Krutz and Vines. I have my CISSP and purchased this one for the ISSEP guide and as a reference.The first 10 Chapters are for the CISSP with some ISSEP tidbits.Chapters 11-14 are on the ISSEP. Granted some of it is from the IATF but the IATF is what the ISSEP uses...

ISSEP

This book is much better than the first edition. This book I think is the best of the Dr. Krutz books so far on the CISSP and the only one on the ISSEP. I'm focusing on the ISSEP for this review. For candidates that do not have experience in the US government civil and military sectors this is...

Not well organized

The book needs more organization and consolidation. The same subject is covered in different chapters or sections within a chapter that are not related, moreover, different chapters covering the same subject will provide definitions that are not the same confusing you, or they will include new...

Excellent CISSP preparation guide

Thorough Coverage of all CISSP Domains

I used this book as my primary study source for the CISSP exam, it helped me pass (first time). The coverage of the ten domains is strong and and provides an excellent basis for preparing. The CISSP domain I found hardest to study for was Cryptography - this book provides great 'plain English'...
