Reader Reviews
Maybe it's because the exam has changed since this book was written. But this book is very dangerous. If you took the CISSP exam and could refer to this book in the exam - but it was your only source - you would flunk the exam. It flat-out does not cover areas of knowledge that the exam asks questions on. (And also covers a number of areas that the exam never touches on.) The danger is if the book was your main basis for the exam, you will walk in to the exam totally unprepared. (I can't give specifics because you sign a confientiality agreement when taking the exam.) My suggestion for taking the CISSP exam; 1) Exam prep alone won't do it - you need to be an experienced security professional to take this test (that's what saved my a**). 2) Get a prep book that was written recently (I am assuming the problem with this book is that the areas being tested has changed). And good luck with the test. Comment | | (Report this)
