Advice to get my CISSP!

Hi Everyone,

 

I am currently working on getting my CompTIA Security+ cert as a warm-up, and then I want to start hardcore working on getting my CISSP cert. What are your best recommendations for study resources and learning strategies to prepare me for the test? I will have accrued the necessary experience by around the end of 2018, so I want to use 2018 to prepare.

 

Thank you in advance for your tips and advice!

 

Kevin

Hi DarthKevin. (Good name btw!)
CISSPs aren't allowed to give direct tips about the exam but I can recommend ensuring you have a good understanding of how all the different aspects of information security fit together. Understanding high-level security Standards such as ISO27001 will give you that 'holistic' view.
A common tip is to think of preparing for the exam as a 'marathon' rather than a sprint.
Hope that helps and good luck when you take the exam. It's worth it!!
