"Shon Harris's book is the foundation and key to my CISSP exam preparation. It covers all the CBKs of the CISSP, with difficulty just right—deep yet not without humor, making the book both informative and engaging. Most importantly, readers can easily remember the content. Practice questions are an essential part of exam preparation and require careful analysis to find the correct answers. I have recommended this book to many colleagues and review it regularly myself." "Before finding this book, preparing for the CISSP exam seemed daunting. This book gave me the opportunity to learn about 10 security domains (CBKs) in one book, with tips and practice questions after each chapter to test my understanding. The accompanying CD-ROM includes practice exams to test my grasp of the entire book's content. I have purchased and read many CISSP books and other general security books. For security professionals preparing for the CISSP exam, Shon Harris's book is comprehensive and easy to understand. I highly recommend it. This book completely covers the 10 professional domains of the CISSP exam, including all the information needed to pass the CISSP certification exam, as well as newly revised content. With this book, readers can fully grasp the key points of the CISSP certification exam. The book is divided into 12 chapters, each starting with clear learning objectives, then detailing the key points of the domain, and finally summarizing with exam tips, practice questions, and detailed answers. The accompanying CD-ROM includes over 850 practice questions and answers, as well as video training materials on cryptography taught by Shon Harris. This book is authoritative yet not overly detailed, making it the ideal textbook for CISSP certification candidates. For IT security professionals in general, it is also an excellent learning tool and reference material."
