Excellent exam prep for experienced IT professionals. Much more concise than the official CBK.

EDIT: passed the CISSP exam this week. Conrad's book was key for me.

This should have been the official study guide. Great, condensed and to the point. It is an easy read and helped me prepare for my CISSP cert. It's in need of an update though to match the current domains.

Gives an ok overview but you will need to know more details and scenarios.

Excellent base and reference for this body of knowledge. Concise and well written. Of course you will need additional sources of education, but I thought this to be a very solid keystone for the overall effort of building towards the exam.

Is very concise and good for learning a good chunk of information in the most direct and lean way. They Sybex book covers some key topics and context topics much more deeply. So this is a great companion

Great Study Guide for the CISSP.

[Jason · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great guide that could be used for other tests (e.g. A+, Sec+), but possibly leaves out some detail covered in other CISSP study guides.
