CISSP Review Notes – Notes I used to pass the exam

I became a Certified Information Systems Security Professional in 2007. I studied for nearly a year. It took so long because I had to self-study and I followed the best process I know (in essence what works for me). I was tempted on getting some of them brain dumps, but I thought better. I also debated whether I should attend one of them bootcamps.  But I don’t think these bootcamps are worth what they are charging, typically $2500.00 for one week.

So I decided to go Spartan and go old school. I read the Shon Harris book and the official CISSP book for at least 2 hours every morning with the target of finishing a Domain per week. All the while highlighting stuff that I thought would be useful and worth highlighting. So you can imagine that process took me at least 20 weeks, reading two books.

After reading the books, I then started taking notes based on the items that I highlighted. Woke up at 4AM every morning, had the books in front of me and typed in as much as I could before I head to work. Took me another 10 weeks or so.

Using what I had studied at this point, I scoured the web for additional information and docs that I could find that will help me review. From those documents, I combined and created notes from them as well. Another 10 week process.

Taking notes worked well for me since typing or writing what I am reading helps me focus and remember better. Studying early in the morning has worked for me since grade school, since the morning is when my head is the clearest. Have you ever noticed how the first song you hear in the morning typically sticks to your head the rest of the day? Well, reading and studying works the same way for me.

To round up my study I bought a couple of practice exam CDs and an Exam Cram book to simulate the exam. I felt very confident that I will do pretty decent in the real CISSP exam when I passed the simulation exams on the first try.

I found these notes very useful, I still use them as a reference for all things related to Information Security. I even used them as a reference when I was studying for the CISM (Certified Information Systems Manager) exam.

I figured my notes could help out quite a few of you aspiring CISSPs out there. You can get a copy of them here.

1. The first set of my review notes that I took from reading the Shon Harris and the official CISSP book. Over 160 pages worth of notes mostly typewritten in Times New Roman 11 font. So you can imagine it will have more pages if it was in 12 font. I was not skimming, I was STUDYING. HARD.
2. The second set of my notes that I took from re-reading the first set of notes, visiting countless blogs, forums and libraries and from reading a slew of other docs and reviewers that I downloaded from across the web. A little bit under 160 pages worth of notes, mostly written in Times New Roman 12 font. This set is a little bit more focused.
3. And a Bonus package of all the other docs, notes and reviewers that other CISSPs across the web have shared and I downloaded. Stuff that I cross-checked to help create my 2 sets of notes.

I am imagining a reviewer set with this amount of information and detail will easily cost you $80 to $100. Most Prep Guide Books in Amazon are sold at an average discounted price of around $50.00.

So do the math… As a CISSP candidate, I believe you can do some basic Risk Assessment and Cost-Benefit Analysis …

That said, I hope you find value in this notes. Best of luck to you, and thanks in advance for your consideration…
