This new study guide is aligned to cover all of the material included in the exam complete with special attention to recent updates.--Dierdre Blake on Dr. Dobb's Journal [T]he book contains all the necessary topics that you will need to know to review for the exam.... Overall the book is more concise than the majority of the other CISSP study guides available. It uses techniques such as Learn By Example and Exam Warning boxes to illustrate and highlight key points. Well written by technically competent authors, I found the book easy to read. Significantly cheaper than many of its peers, this is all that the more experienced prospective CISSP candidate requires.--InfoSecReviews.com
