CISSP 2015 Exam
I am under impression that all questions will not have more than one correct answer out of 4 provided options ? Not sure if real exam would have more than one correct answer as I see such ones in ISC2 official guide 4th edition, e.g. Page 1025,1026 ..it asks below - Software testing tenets include: (Choose Two) A. Testers…

Passed CISSP today!
Excited as hell so this will be brief until later! I was one of the ones that took the test when ISC2 had the longest delay in what felt like history for results. I think I was one of the only ones that failed when the results finally got released. 681...oh so close. Kick in the nuts to have to wait 6 weeks to just barely…

Reference monitor. You know what it is, right?
What I hate about CISSP is a ton of crap that is marked as 'for the purpose of CISSP exam'. It relates to areas, mostly non-technical ones, that do not have established, well-known and widely accepted standards and procedures, like forensics investigation procedures, etc. However, sometimes it is so regarding even well…

Clarification Needed on Practice Questions.
