I enjoyed going through this book and how comprehensive it is for the CISSP and beyond. With the exam covering so much, the authors provided as much detail as possible for each domain without it being presented too much as a dry study guide. Its two chapters on identity management are particularly valuable.

As a CISSP certification holder i really enjoyed reading this book. This book covers all the latest concepts of the ISC2 exam for CISSP and explains the concepts in a very concise manner. There is a pre-assessment test before you go to chapter#1 which covers ethics and CIA triage very well, At the end of each chapter there is exam readiness drill which should help the candidate to assess himself well on the topics covered and prepare well for this tough exam, i highly recommend this book for any cissp aspirants.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created.

As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published.
