Learn how to think and apply knowledge in a practical way. Tackling
the CISSP exam is vastly different from simply understanding the
subject matter. Even the most experienced security professionals
can fail because the questions are tricky and ask the test taker to
pick the best of the options given. The CISSP exam conducted by
ISC2 is the hardest and most rewarded cybersecurity examination.
The test has several domains and sub-domains and covers a wide
range of topics on security, including cyber and physical building
security fields. It also covers breaches, discovery of breaches,
and how to report data breaches. Because the subject area is vast
and the questions are almost never repeated, it is hard for the
exam taker to memorize or quickly discover the correct solution.
The four options given as answers typically have two very close
matches to the question. With quick analysis, it is possible to
discover from the verbiage of a question what is truly being asked
and learn how to find the closest possible solution without
spending too much time on each question. What You Will Learn Think
outside the box (the CISSP exam demands this of candidates) Quickly
discern the gist of a question, eliminate the distractors, and
select the correct answer Understand the use of words such as MOST,
BEST, FIRST, LAST in the questions Select the correct answer when
multiple options look like possible solutions Who This Book Is For
Experienced security practitioners, managers, and executives
interested in proving their knowledge across a wide array of
security practices and principles, including chief information
security officers, chief information officers, directors of
security, IT directors and managers, security systems engineers,
security analysts, security managers, security auditors, security
architects, security consultants, private contractors, and network
architects
