The Official (ISC)2 CISSP CBK Reference 5th Edition

I liked the layout much more in this than book than the cybex official, the writing was easier for me to identify with the pain points of the stories. Wish I read this one first and then the study guides. Excited to have on the bookshelf, I reference at least once a week, this is top notch and a must have, with or without the credential.

This edition follows its predecessors for style and format. It's necessary for instructors to own this book more than it's helpful for new CISSP candidates to use for study. This Official Guide makes our instructional content justifiable (paints the line on the court). Based on student feedback over the years, it will take 6 months or more from the date of its release for new topics to show up on the exam. Long-gone topics like the Orange Book are no longer in the index, which is good. There is better coverage of SDN and SOA in this version. There are no questions/answers, unfortunately. Overall, the new content is appropriate for CISSP for the next few years.

Successfully passed. The book took me 6th month to learn, first try was successful.

Good read

its a very comprehensive preparation material for the CISSP certification exam.

I think this is a good reference source.

This book is organized based on the CISSP Exam Outline and addresses it good enough; it provides a handy way for the CISSP aspirants to follow the exam outline. It gives more definitions officially and provides more trending materials. However, I would say it's a supplement to the previous edition, the fourth edition. Some topics are highly simplified or cut off.It seems that some materials are typos or misplacements. e.g., the official risk definition from ISC2 (I'd replace the "likelihood" with "magnitude") and the “FIGURE 3.4 Brewer-Nash security model” on page 236 (I believe it should be the Clark-Wilson model).This book is good but still not good enough, but I would suggest CISSPs and CISSP aspirants put one on your bookshelf, as it stands for the official viewpoint of the CISSP CBK (Common Body of Knowledge), and the only official source available.The following is my evaluation for your reference:PROS- Well-organized- Matching the CISSP exam outline to the first level of topics in each domain- Trending materials- Smaller in sizeCONS- No review questions- No appendix for supplement materials or document templates- No glossary- No suggested references
