Summary: a great starting point
Comment: If you're thinking about studying for CISSP, this is a good place to start. Use it as a scoping exercise, to get a feel for the breadth and (to a lesser extent) the depth of the exam.
Some sections (particularly those on legal aspects) are some way adrift of the current ISC2 focus, and the book doesn't go into the depth needed, or the rationale regarding significance, of any of the domains - so in that respect, the book can be misleading. Also, the test questions are not very representative of the exam itself (and if you've not done this sort of professional exam before, you'll need to do _lots_ of test questions, from as many sources as possible).
A qualified recommendation. (see my review of Shon Harris' book also)
Customer Rating:
Summary: A reasonable overview but sketchy in places
Comment: This book is an accessible introduction to information security for the CISSP exam. The jokey tone may grate on some readers. All domains are covered, some better than others. There is more detail on telecommunications than most areas, as is only appropriate. The law domain addresses US law almost exclusively and makes some very bad slips such as using criminal law terms when discussing civil law.
Most readers will want to use this as a support to their studies rather than the central plank: for that the official guide from (ISC)2 would be far better (as it should be being far longer).
Customer Rating:
Summary: An excellent primer
Comment: The CISSP requires you to know a great deal of information, this book doesn't contain it all however it does make the information it provides very accesible. I read through this book to understand all the concepts and issues then moved onto a another book to fill in the gaps. That said, I do feel that this is an excellent primer book and a great first sweep through the 10 CBK domains.
