Essential CISM: Updated for the 15th Edition CISM Review Manual

by Phil Martin

Essential CISM has been written with a single goal in mind – to present the CISM material in a way that is easy to absorb without leaving any content behind. Plenty of examples are included to drive the points home so that when it comes time to take the CISM exam, you are ready! This exam guide covers all four ISACA domains,
•Information Security Governance
•Information Risk Management
•Information Security Program Development and Management
•Information Security Incident Management
The book is broken down into two sections. Section 1 covers basic concepts you will need to understand before hitting each domain. The CISM official exam guide is overwhelmingly redundant across the domains, and so in this book you will encounter each topic once instead of having to rehash the same subject in different (and chaotic) ways. By the time you start covering the domains, you will already be 60% of the way there!
Section 2 presents the four domains and ties together the concepts covered in Section 1, plus subjects that are unique to each domain.
Some books provide test questions embedded in the material, but Essential CISM leaves that to the experts to keep the cost down. There are plenty of online resources and tests you can take to test your knowledge that are a much better use of your time.

About the author

I grew up in the creative cauldron of nineties Manchester when Madchester rocked the charts and the Hacienda ruled clubland. The city has shaped me as a writer. I write thrillers and crime based on the fine folk of Manchester and Salford. The Little Girl Lost trilogy has however developed into an international thriller taking in Manchester, Morocco, London, Barcelona, Monza, Zurich, Moscow, Chechnya, Batumi and... Milton Keynes.

I’ve decided just to use this as a reference guide which is really what’s it’s designed for. Genuinely though, it’s one of the most depressing reads you can imagine. Good luck if you have a copy, prepare yourself with plenty of anti depressants or tons of alcohol.

Brilliant

Just like the CISA guide, the CISM summary given in this book is great to give your a broad summary and strait to the point version of the CISM Manual.
