Certified Information Systems Security Professional Official Study Guide Eighth Edition by Mike Chapple, James Michael Stewart, Darril Gibson

Dear Future (ISC)² Member,

Congratulations on starting your journey to CISSP® certification. Earning your CISSP is an exciting and rewarding milestone in your cybersecurity career. Not only does it demonstrate your ability to develop and manage nearly all aspects of an organization’s cybersecurity operations, but you also signal to employers your commitment to life-long learning and taking an active role in fulfilling the (ISC)² vision of inspiring a safe and secure cyber world. The material in this study guide is based upon the (ISC)² CISSP Common Body of Knowledge. It will help you prepare for the exam that will assess your competency in the following eight domains:

Security and Risk Management
Asset Security
Security Architecture and Engineering
Communication and Network Security
Identity and Access Management (IAM)
Security Assessment and Testing
Security Operations
Software Development Security

While this study guide will help you prepare, passing the CISSP exam depends on your mastery of the domains combined with your ability to apply those concepts using your real-world experience.

I wish you the best of luck as you continue on your path to become a CISSP and certified member of (ISC)².

Sincerely,

David Shearer, CISSP

CEO
