Comprehensive, but a slightly disappointing update November 9, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought this book having passed CISSP 3 years ago using the second edition as my main reference. The fourth edition is significantly thicker, and has clearly been updated with a good amount of new material.
Some niggles I had with it though:
- the practice questions do not seem to have been updated, which means that the new material has not made it into the practice questions, and they don't reflect any changes in the exam (e.g. the new 'scenario based' questions). In my opinion the questions form a very important part of the book since they are key to preparing for the exam and measuring progress in understanding the topics.
- there are some annoying errata in the new material. For example BS7799 is referred to as BS7700 in one place, and the error is repeated in the Quick Tips at the end of the chapter. The same section refers to the "future" renaming of ISO 17799 to 27002. This happened mid-2007 and the book was published in 2008.
Having said that, this book still contains a massively comprehensive coverage of the CISSP course in a style which is never too dry and always very readable. Which in itself is an impressive achievement with such a range of technical subjects. As well as the new technical material many of the 'real world' discussions have also been brought up to date in light of recent events.
In summary I think that this book is going to do the job again as my main reference for the CISSP exam and I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone preparing for the CISSP exam. I just wish it had some new questions for me to try.
