Official (ISC)2 Guide to the CISSP CBK (
The urgency for a global standard of excellence for those who protect the networked world has never been greater. (ISC) 2 created the information security industry’s first and only CBK ® , a global compendium of information security topics. Continually updated to incorporate rapidly changing technologies and threats, the CBK continues to serve as the basis for (ISC) 2 ’s education and certification programs.
Unique and exceptionally thorough, the Official (ISC) 2 ® Guide to the CISSP ® CBK ® provides a better understanding of the CISSP CBK ― a collection of topics relevant to information security professionals around the world. Although the book still contains the ten domains of the CISSP, some of the domain titles have been revised to reflect evolving terminology and changing emphasis in the security professional’s day-to-day environment. The ten domains include information security and risk management, access control, cryptography, physical (environmental) security, security architecture and design, business continuity (BCP) and disaster recovery planning (DRP), telecommunications and network security, application security, operations security, legal, regulations, and compliance and investigations.
Endorsed by the (ISC) 2 , this valuable resource follows the newly revised CISSP CBK, providing reliable, current, and thorough information. Moreover, the Official (ISC) 2 ® Guide to the CISSP ® CBK ® helps information security professionals gain awareness of the requirements of their profession and acquire knowledge validated by the CISSP certification.
The book is packaged with a CD that is an invaluable tool for those seeking certification. It includes sample exams that simulate the actual exam, providing the same number and types of questions with the same allotment of time allowed. It even grades the exam, provides correct answers, and identifies areas where more study is needed.

Used this book and a few others years ago to pass my CISSP exam. Never attended a class just previous experience and hours studying book like this. The sample questions are very helpful. Passing the CISSP is as much about getting familiar with how questions are asked as knowing the material

As far as CISSP books go, this is the all knowing reference book. I would not recommend reading this book to study for your CISSP, but more as a guide to use while studying. It was of great use for that. I like to call this book BIG GREEN. If I need to find a more in depth explanation or find info on something I couldn't find elsewhere, this is the book to find it. It has everything you will need to know for the CISSP exam and more. I think it would be very useful while working as a CISSP as well. I know it has been for me. I can always find what I am looking for at work and it helps lead me to other resources as well.

Easily the most poorly-written book I've ever read. I thought it might perhaps be due to the subject matter, but when I stumbled into a full paragraph copied verbatim, that illusion was shattered.
One of the most important tasks for any IT professional is to translate the boring/confusing reality of our jobs into a form ready for consumption by the laypeople we work with.
This book fails incredibly hard in this respect.
Read it if you have to, but avoid at all costs otherwise.

Does a really good job of laying out material for the CISSP exam, but can get extremely dry in parts and tough to power through.
Read
April 28, 2014Didn't finish this one, partly because of the steep drop off in value of the CISSP Certificate.

A painful read, but a good refresher prior to exam for the security domains you don't deal with on a daily basis.

It's a big, dry book but it's a ton of information.
