Has anyone heard/read/used this guide:
http://www.powells.com/cgi-bin/biblio?inkey=91-9889732319-0
Not quite new: it's copyright is two years old, and it doesn't reflect some of
the
new requirements for the CISSP. It's a self-published ebook, with all the
limitations that implies. It's seems to have been derived from a course that
was,
itself, derived from the ISC2 review seminar. It is basically in point form,
and has
no sample questions.
Overall, the points are reasonably well selected. (Well, that's to be
expected,
given the probable base source. The section on malware is very disappointing,
and
the section on legal concepts is rather weak.) The material is more up-to-date
than any other besides the "Official (ISC)^2 Guide to the CISSP Exam" (cf.
BKOIGTCE.RVW). In terms of books dealing with an overall familiarization with
the topics to be covered on the CISSP exam, this one does have an advantage in
price, and in speed of access. (I requested a copy directly from the author by
email, and got it within two hours. If, for example, you are in a boot camp
course
situation, you may need all the help you can get, quickly.)
