You should have at least 2 years of experience in one of the following areas: governance, risk, and compliance (GRC), change management, network administration, systems administration, physical security, database management, or software development.

What this book covers

Chapter I, Scheduling the CISSP Exam, is where you will learn about where to schedule and take the exam.

Chapter 1, Security and Risk Management Domain 1 Practice Questions, has 100 practice questions covering GRC management and security requirements.

Chapter 2, Asset Security Domain 2 Practice Questions, has 100 practice questions covering asset handling and the data life cycle.

To get the most out of this book

The use of a timer is very important while taking practice questions. The goal is to read and correctly answer each question within 60 seconds.

Access to the internet and a web browser is important to research scenarios and get more details as to why specific answers are correct. The web browser can be run from a computer or tablet.

Candidates without 5 years of work experience should continue accruing security experience to complete their CISSP and move toward getting the Associate of (ISC)² certification. As an associate, you have 6 years to fulfill the 5-year requirement.
