Summary

The CISSP certification is the gold standard for security professionals, but ISC2‘s official study guide is anything but easy to read. Many books have tried to simplify this but fail to leave behind the $100 words and run-on sentences. An update to the original Simple CISSP book, Essential CISSP Exam Guide takes the entire official study guide and breaks it down into easy-to-absorb chapters with simple language. Tons of examples are included to drive the points home in a way that makes it effortless to remember. This Second Edition has been updated for the 2018 CISSP Body of Knowledge, and covers all 10 domains:

  • Security and Risk Management
  • Asset Security Security
  • Architecture and Engineering
  • Communication and Network Security
  • Identity and Access Management (IAM)
  • Security Assessment and Testing
  • Security Operations
  • Software Development Security

Please note that chapters may not have a descriptive name as displayed on your mobile device - this is limitation of the publishing platform. However, each chapter will always start with the title being read aloud, so it should be fairly simple to scan through chapters when you wish to revisit a subject.

Please add chapter titles, book suffers without.

Like the content and book alot but the lack of any chapter titles is a big problem. Not being able to quickly skip through to the sections or chapters that are of interest or require more study is really quite ridiculous. All the effort that must have gone into writing and reading this book is let down by such a simple thing. Please retrospectively fix this issue.

A great refresher or introduction

Having been in infosec for a very long time and undertaken classroom and online training to covet the “mile wide and inch deep” scale of CISSP I took a gamble on this audiobook- and it paid off

Very well structured and targeted as revision more than training, for me this struck the right note and balanced well the balance between technical and non-technical language

I dinked the great Phil Martin one star only because I had a little trouble catching a very, very small amount of what he said and he did make a couple of very minor mistakes in terminology - getting better than 99.999% accuracy would be very tricky

Properly presented as an audiobook with no references to tables and pictures which are not there means that this is the ideal revision companion for the commute or other listening opportunity, though if you can’t give this comprehensive work your full attention you will need to repeat - it doesn’t waste words

Thanks, Phil, for a great book

Good in addition to other study material

This is great for travelling etc. I use it in conjunction with other study material, and I regularly listen back, and it helps embed the information. I wish there was a better indicator or description on the chapter index/table of content, so you can align objectives to particular sections.

Great accompaniment to learning materials

I found this book really helpful for driving home some of the concepts. There is a lot to learn and it is a long book, so be prepared to spend some time really listening, and re-listening. It is narrated by the author and I think he does a great job. Definitely one of my best purchases.

Really useful book

Im studying for CISSP exam and I've found this book to be really useful. The clear way the book is presented helped me to understand all the concepts - quite a difficult thing to do with such a technical subject matter. I would recommend this 100% for anyone taking the exam but also anyone who wants to brush up on IT security.
