Welcome to the Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) Super Study Guide℠.
This study guide is intended to be a supplement to the official books and training materials you currently use; it is by no means intended to replace or become the single “go-to” source of knowledge, and we encourage you all to use multiple study materials in your journey. In a nutshell, please go buy one of the books! While we sometimes criticize the authors or their content, they are essential in providing insight to the CBK.
Our study guide contains memorization tricks, shortcuts, and simplified explanations to help you understand, learn, and memorize the most difficult concepts. It’s intended to be a digestible version of the common body of knowledge (CBK) as a quick reference, not a detailed instruction manual.
Note: this study guide has only partially been updated to reflect the May 2021 CBK revision (we are currently done with Domains 1 thru 6, and are editing Domain 7), but we hope to complete this process very soon. We will then update our educational videos.
DOMAIN 1: SECURITY AND RISK MANAGEMENT
DOMAIN 3: SECURITY ARCHITECTURE AND ENGINEERING
DOMAIN 4: COMMUNICATION AND NETWORK SECURITY
DOMAIN 5: IDENTITY AND ACCESS MANAGEMENT
