CISSP: is All-In-One sixth edition adequate?
Hi all:
My boss is "strongly encouraging" me to pass the CISSP in 2017. I've spent nearly 2 years as an IT Auditor after spending 20 as a mainframe programmer, so I need remedial-level materials, covering these topics starting at an entry level.
I've come across a copy of the All-In-One book, sixth edition. I know that there are now 8 domains, as opposed to 10 at the time of this book's publication. Did they just basically combine some domains to account for the reduction? Will the information provided in this book be sufficient to pass the current version of the test, or am I better off investing in materials written with an 8-domain test in mind?
Thanks for any information or advice.
Rob

I would also add the new sybex book to the mix.
Use more than one book or resource when getting ready.Have: CISSP,CASP,MBA,ITILV3F,CSM,CEH

Essentially, they just consolidated the 10 domains into eight. I believe they added some new material, but I don't think it's enough to warrant buying a new version of that study guide. I recommend downloading the exam objectives from ISC(2) and laying out a study plan based on those. Seriously, if it's in the exam objectives, you should learn it. Then use the All-in-One as your primary study guide. Shon Harris covered the domains really well (sometimes too much info).
I highly recommend augmenting your studies with the free CISSP training available at www.cybrary.it Kelly Handerhan is an amazing instructor. Her CASP training helped to get me through the SSCP exam on the first try. -
