 A Good Baseline for Exam Review July 25, 2008
I just passed the CISSP exam using, almost exclusively, the Shon Harris, 4th ed., 'All in ONE, CISSP Exam Guide' - supplementing Harris with some additional materials on networking and encryption. It took me about 7 weeks to study the materials before taking the exam despite a busy work schedule (my background is operations). The book is an excellent resource for most of the 10 knowledge domains with special mention to LAW, and Physical Security. However, the Networking and Encryption Domains were not nearly adequate - not enough information and presented at a level below that of the actual exam. Use the questions at the end of each chapter as review but be WARNED, most of the chapter review questions are much to simple. Seek out other text books for more representative exam questions(combining knowledge with logic and practical scenarios). Also, do not waste your time on the questions found on the CD - way, way to simple. I found the book a little verbose for my taste but the many tables, diagrams, summary areas, and the quite excellent Quick Tips section at the end of each chapter more than made up for this minor flaw.
 Bigger books, less knowledge July 20, 2008

Not sure why this book is so highly rated. Having taken (and passed) the CISSP several years ago, I need to retake this exam and bought three books for review and study purposes. I have a previous version of the Harris book and it is ~900 pages. This new version is 1100+ pages, but seems to be filled more with fluff and some of the actually useful knowledge has been removed! One example which stands out is the removal of the effectiveness and acceptance charts for biometrics methods. This is an important concept and it is entirely ignored in this version. Other things have been changed to no real benefit. The CIA triad (as is the de-facto acronym, even in her previous book) has been renamed to the ICA triad. There is no reason for this.
Finally, the entire book is written in a dumbed-down, cutesy fashion in an attempt (I believe) to make the book more approachable. All it has done, IMO, has increased the number of pages, possibly forcing out relevant materials.
I will pass this test, but it won't be because of this book. Buy the ISC book and the Krutz book (and/or a previous version of the Harris book) - you will not be disappointed.
 Shon continues her excellence July 3, 2008
If youre going for your CISSP, then this book should be looked at as your first and last line of study!
Shon truly is the best instructor I know of for CISSP!
This is THE one!!!! June 25, 2008
Yes this book is the one stop shop. If your looking at this book hopefully you have a month or more to study. I had three weeks and was reading 50 - 75 pages a day(and yes I passed). The book covers all the material that you need to pass. Shon tries to keep it a little lively and adds real life examples. Her style is for you to UNDERSTAND the reasoning. This not a book that helps you break the test. You learn the material and UNDERSTAND the answer.
Like CISSP itself: interesting but lacks some details June 23, 2008
Disclaimer: I'm a tech-oriented geek and that's how I like my books.
That being said, this book gives an good view on the various aspects of security. As the CISSP requirements seem to be more focused on completeness (...) then on details, this book is a good start to obtain the certification.
