Hi everyone,
With the announcement of the CISSP exam change, Domain Days is back and it's the perfect opportunity to brush up on the any domain. The one-day instructor-led deep dive into the exam domain of your choice is back from November 6- November 17.
Hello,
Does anyone know if a new version of the CISSP All-In-One book is being prepared to take these changes into account?
In any case, the changes seem superficial, however the number of questions has been drastically reduced, won't this alter the high, premium level of this certification?
Thank you @andrea ,
Any content change except for the weighting and time limit during the exam?
Thank you
Does that mean CBK has also changed from CBK 2021?
What about those who are preparing using the testing material based upon CBK 2021?
Is new training material available??
Is the study course by Mike Chapple from 2021 still relevant for the new exam?
Thank you
