Hello,   I'm planning to pursue the SSCP certification, and I'm looking for guidance on the best options and where to find the most up-to-date study materials. I've noticed in some discussions that there seems to be a bit of confusion about the available resources. Could you help me identify the most reliable study materials for end of 2024 beginning of 2025?   Additionally, if anyone else is preparing for the SSCP exam soon and would like to join a study group, please let me know!   Regards View More

I am curious to know what textbooks/study guides everyone is doing? I purchased the self-paced training and it comes with the Official ISC2 Textbook Ed. 5, but is only 93 pages! The website doesn't even list any books for Ed. 5, and if you look up these books on Amazon or Wiley the book is almost 800 pages! Trying to see if what the self-paced training provides is really adequate training to be prepared for this exam.   Thanks all! JD View More

I am sitting for the exam next year, around October 😉    If there is one here who plans to sit for the exam also next year and would like to have a study accountability partner, let's go 🙂  View More

Hello,   I have been researching about the changes in the SSCP and current official textbook.   if in one hand there are not much changes in the domains - domain 1 name was updated and some weight in domains changed - there are some additions like zero trust and other that the official study book 3rd edition does not have.   Does anyone have any feedback or update on this topic? Currently I cannot find when a new updated edition will be available.   thanks View More
