(ISC)²’s CISSP Exam covers ten domains which are:
- Access Control
- Application Development Security
- Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Planning
- Cryptograpy
- Information Security Governance and Risk Management
- Legal regulations, investigations, and compliance
- Operations Security
- Physical and Environmental Security
- Security Architecture and Design
- Telecommunications and Network Security
Over the course of the next 10 weeks or so, I’ll take a look at each one of the domains; give you some insight into what (ISC)² is looking for in that area; give you some supplemental reading material; and by the time we’re done, you should have a good grasp of the information you need to pass the CISSP exam as well as to succeed in your security professional career.
I will say this, one of the ways that you can ensure your preparation for the CISSP exam is by taking the InfoSec CISSP Boot Camp course. As far as reading material is concerned, everyone should have their own personal copy of the CISSP CBK 2nd Edition from (ISC)².
I am interested in training on the 10 domains. Please advise as to how to go about it.
Tshidi Khobane,
Good morning. Depending upon your background in information security, you might want to consider some of the following reading material. The first book that you need to read is the Official (ISC)2 Guide to the CISSP CBK, Second Edition ((ISC)2 Press) by Harold F. Tipton (Hardcover – December 22, 2009). In addition to that there are several books entitled “Information Security Management Handbook” Sixth Edition, also by Harold F. Tipton. Make sure you start with Volume One which is ISBN-13: 9780849374951. Then time and money permitting you can continue reading the series by purchased Volume 2, 3, 4, 5, & 6. Reading this material will give you a solid understanding of Information Security and the 10 domains. I would also recommend that you speak with InfoSec Institute regarding attending the CISSP Boot Camp once you feel comfortable with the material and want to pursue certification as a CISSP. InfoSec Institute can be contacted by phone at 011-866-471-0059, by fax at 011-708-689-0181. If you have any other questions please feel free to post the questions here and we will get you an answer.
