Hello @LDH

 

The Sybex Study Guide is available now, and the CISSP Practice Test and CISSP for Dummies are on target to be released at the end of this month. For the Official Guide to the CISSP CBK, we are expecting a release in Q3. 

 

You can find updated links here for the resources that are available now.

 

Thanks,

This seems odd; how can ISC2 expect people to pass the new exam when the CBK that it is based on will not be out for months? What do people do in the meantime?

@joshua The fifth edition of the CISSP CBK will not be released until sometime in Q3. Unfortunately, we do not have an ETA on the exact release date. If you are looking to take the exam by September latest, I would suggest reviewing the fourth edition of the CBK and the newer Study Guide. Please note, changes were minor and all (ISC)² exams are experienced based.

It's now Q3. I called CRC Press who also said they have no history of a 5th Edition existing for this book. Is there a release date yet?  

 

I need this book to begin preparing our students to pass the exam in September. Should I go ahead and pursue a different option?

@alissabama Thank you for your inquiry. The CISSP CBK 5th Edition will be released by the end of Q3 (around September). Unfortunately, we do not have an exact date of release at this time.
