CCSP Exam and training Material

[MasoodRaza]

Hi everyone, 

I recently purchased the CCSP exam and Self-paced training (3 months) but unfortunately I was not able to complete my training due to an important company project going on with tight deadline. Now its expired but I still have access to CCSP Official Textbook, it also have some practice questions. 

Question: If I prepare through Official Textbook and complete all the practice questions and then give the CCSP Exam is there any change to pass the exam? I have more than 20 years of practical experience and somehow I am confident that I will able to pass it.. Just looking for experts guidance..

@MasoodRaza I am sure that the eTextbook will have a lot of information. For my exam I did read the official Sybex book, but what was most helpful for me was CSA’s (Cloud Security Alliance) and NIST’s no cost online documents. CSA helped ISC2 develop their CCSP. Since the exam is roughly half cybersecurity and half cloud concepts and security, CSA’s materials were great because they assume already know cybersecurity and only concentrate on cloud. Best wishes.

@MasoodRaza Having 20 years of experience in IT and security is a "great asset" for the CCSP exam. Many senior professionals find the textbook more efficient than the self-paced videos and other third-party materials..

However, the CCSP is notorious for being a "managerial" exam rather than a purely technical one. Even with decades of experience, there are a few specific nuances to be aware and more focus required : Risk Management, Architectural Concepts and Governance & Legal.

All the best for your future studies..!
