Rating: Summary: Very Well Done and Comprehensive Review: This Book and CD were very well done and very comprehensive. There is enough coverage in the book and CD to fully prepare someone for the CISSP exam.If this would have been my first CISSP book, it would have been the only one I would have needed. This is an outstanding work.
Rating: Summary: This book is good but the softeware in CD-ROM doesn't work Review: I bought this book several days ago and found it was very useful. But when I installed and ran the software (225 multiple choices)in the CD-ROM some error message came out. My computer ran NT 4.0 (sp3). I just wonder that is there anything wrong in my computer setting or in the software.
Rating: Summary: Easy reading and comprehensive. Review: An excellent book. Well written and easy to understand. It is the first book I've read that flows from topic to topic. The best part is there are no redundancies in the information. Over 900 pages of solid information with references. I've read other books that write the same thing over and over again just to fill the book with more pages. More than an exam guide, it provides comprehensive content of all 10 domains. I recommend this book to both security professionals and business executives. I'm impressed!
Rating: Summary: Excellent !! Two Thumbs Up! Review: This book is impressive, the coverage encompasing the CBKs, the examples make the matter easier to grasp. The style of writing is down to earth and to the point. I highly recommend this book to anyone preparing for the exams.
Rating: Summary: Technical depth and great coverage Review: The amount of information and the number of topics that ISC(2) has included in the CISSP exam is a bit overwhelming. I spent big bucks to go to their review class and still did not feel overly confident about my knowledge level for ALL the topics this exam covers. I was also not positive of exactly what I should zero in on. I have found this book quite helpful because it seems very difficult to find information on ALL the topics that ISC(2) has in their outline for the exam. Even searching on the Internet for hours there are some topics that I could not find any real useful data on. But it seems to be all here in this book. The amount of practice questions in each chapter and the CD has helped me "zero in" on the exact concepts I think I need for the exam. I think this is an excellent choice and recommend others to check it out!
Rating: Summary: Not a hope Review: I started reading this but fell asleep. Use cccure.org or the Prep Guide, anything but this!
Rating: Summary: Truly the Best! Review: This is certainly the best CISSP study guide available, but it seems to be much, much more. The amount of information in this text book is exactly what the security field needs. I am amazed at the depth that this author goes into and can really get the concepts across in an understandable manner. Security can be a complex animal and this book has made me understand things I didn't know that I didn't know! I will use this book even after the exam I am sure.
Rating: Summary: Really all you will need Review: I have been studying for the CISSP exam for several months and bought one other study guide (the Prep Guide). Studying the stack of books ISC2 indicates seemed to only confuse me and overwhelm me with what exactly was the information I needed to know for the exam and the Prep Guide flew through concepts I thought were actually very important. The All-In-One guide seems to have an amazing amount of coverage over the concepts ISC2 indicates in their outline of topics that is on the exam. It seems like 10-12 books have been combined into one, which makes it a lot easier to understand and digest. I am very appreciative that this book is available for me.
Rating: Summary: New "CISSP Prep Guide Second Edition" is better Review: I have several CISSP books, including this one and the just released "CISSP Prep Guide: Mastering the CISSP and ISSEP Exams". While this is a good book, the new Krutz/Vines book has more information, is more up-to-date with better questions and a better value, with 1000+ pages @ $40. I can also use it for my ISSEP study when I get my CISSP. FYI: don't get the older "Prep Guide" variants, get the latest one.
Rating: Summary: Good CISSP reference. Review: Good reference for CISSP. Easily comprehensible material. BTW, curious to know, has anybody taken CISSP exam, and not passed?
