I've recently passed the CISSP & CISA certifications. While studying for my CISSP, I realized I needed to strengthen my audit proficiency. I purchased this book and felt it added to my preparation to clear the CISSP. So encouraged by my understanding of audits, I continued pursuing my CISA certification, and I'm thrilled to report I passed it also. This book contributed to the vast body of knowledge I used in my study preparation. I'm very thankful to the authors for building something digestible and actionable within our industry.

I have been looking for AWS best practices but the vendor has endless documentation but nothing succinct and to the point. I love this book and i carry it along with my laptop daily for reference. Great great book

I have been working across different areas of Cybersecurity which is more on Business Development side.So, I am not a tech expert, and I need books to bring a broad and at the same time structured picture.This book is extremely helpful to get a structured guide for auditing, with very practical steps and strategies to take.
