Resumen del Editor

The CISSP certification is the gold standard for security professionals, but ISC2‘s official study guide is anything but easy to read. Many books have tried to simplify this but fail to leave behind the $100 words and run-on sentences. An update to the original Simple CISSP book, Essential CISSP Exam Guide takes the entire official study guide and breaks it down into easy-to-absorb chapters with simple language. Tons of examples are included to drive the points home in a way that makes it effortless to remember. This Second Edition has been updated for the 2018 CISSP Body of Knowledge, and covers all 10 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

Please note that chapters may not have a descriptive name as displayed on your mobile device - this is limitation of the publishing platform. However, each chapter will always start with the title being read aloud, so it should be fairly simple to scan through chapters when you wish to revisit a subject.

Good audio book as a complementary CISSP resource

Excellent explanations, however as most people have already stated the sound quality fluctuation is annoying sometimes.
If the author just spent a few more bucks on getting a sound professional assistance this would be the perfect audio book.
I recommend this book for knowledge assurance.

This book helped me pass the CISSP Exam

For me, this book was key to pass the exam! It became my "go to" for learning, prepping, and studying for the CISSP exam. I also had a copy of the official Cybrex guide, but I felt "Essential CISSP" provided better, more in-depth explanations of concepts. Some chapters I would listen to multiple times, such as cryptography.
I would listen to this book before going to sleep at night, while driving, and while exercising. For the easier topics, I would listen to it at 1.5 speed. In hindsight, I would have also bought the Kindle version of the book as a companion to the audiobook. Some of these topics are complexed, and it easier to understand them visually (like the various modes of 3DES encryption and Kerberos.)
Be aware that the author reads the book, and he does a pretty good job. However, I would have preferred to hear 'James Earl Jones' explain TCP/IP stacks & the OSI Model. ;-)

Study Supplement

Don't let the quality of audio stop you from purchasing this book if you are looking for a decent study supplement. The audio quality is poor as some other reviewers have previously stated but it is tolerable. The content that Phil provides is excellent and I would have rated this book at 5 stars had the audio quality been better.

Great preparation book for CISSP

Helped all ow me to pass certification in concert with a two week boot camp and self study.

Excellent supplementary content

Passed the test this Jan and it was super tough. This audio book was perfect supplementary content on the go, working out, in the car, you can study. This book is about as good as it gets organizing this super dry content in a form that you can comprehend via audio. The audio cues for different sections and billet points are very helpful. The author has a slight southern American accent, which he addresses at the beginning. It didn’t put me off a bit, but it may for some folks. Very grateful this existed to help me pass.

Listening and reading

Great audio book to pair with the printed official study guide. The author breaks the material up by domain which differs from the official study guide making it a good pairing for me. He covers each domain thoroughly.

Great descriptions of somewhat dry content

If you're studying already, you know there's a TON to the CISSP. Great to listen to in the car and in free time to reinforce other study materials. The way he breaks down lists makes it easy to follow without having to take notes to break it down. Great study asset.

Editing review because there is not a PDF listed to download as mentioned.

the best audio book for CISSP

The book dive deeply into all the topics not just skims through them. The explanation is really good and sometimes the narrator use metaphors to simplify complex concepts. Really good book and so useful.

Must!

The end is very surprising 😉
Good luck everyone in the CISSP exam

excellent content and entertaining as a bonus!

I listened to this book in preparation for the CompTIA exam (yes, not the exam it was intended for) - very helpful with a lot of great examples.... great for someone like me who is a novice in the field. Besides all of that, the author has a sense of humor that made me laugh aloud a number of times and really lightened the mood for serious study. I recommend this book highly!
