What is the current CSSLP version

[aravindkamble]

While reading CSSLP All in One book 3rd edition, I came across with a page where it says "CSSLP Version 3(2020)". This raised a question in my mind, is this the latest current version? Am I reading the right version of the book? Is the exam scheduled to be revised to next version? If yes then when?

Can someone answer me please.

Hello @aravindkamble!

The CSSLP, fifth edition was released September 2020 and this is the most current version of the courseware materials at this time.

Certifications are typically on a 3 year cycle, so we don't anticipate an update to the materials and exam until next year.

Thanks Kaity. That helps.

Could you please also let me know how can I get courseware for 5th edition. 

Is there a way I can find out what changed from 3rd to 5th edition so that I can read that part as well for the exam. The 3rd edition of All in One CSSLP book seems to be covering 3rd edition of the exam.

I am using CSSLP CBK 2nd edition. This is what was there on study reference page (https://www.isc2.org/Training/Self-Study-Resources). Is that the latest one?

Thanks.

For updated course materials, you can choose from different education delivery methods if you're interested in official (ISC)² training - https://www.isc2.org/Training/Courses/csslp-training-course

This page gives information about the changes that happened when we last refreshed the CSSLP exam - https://www.isc2.org/Certifications/CSSLP/Domain-Refresh-FAQ - so I hope that helps! 

Yes, the 2nd edition of the CBK is the most recent book 🙂

Thanks for the reply Kaity. 

Have one more thing to ask. Is there a way I can get ISC2 CSSLP Student guide 5th Edition? I can pay for it.

Hi @aravindkamble - apologies for my delayed response. I was tracking down the information. It appears that the 5th edition of the Student Guide for CSSLP is only available with the course purchase.
