Just passed the SY0-401 Sec+ CE test in December ..... Now.. Moving on....I've decided that I'm going to start studying for the CISSP Cert.

Where do I begin? What should i study? Any free study guides? ETC......

    Congrats on the Sec+. For the CISSP I used cybrary.it, Sybex 7th edition, and McGraw Hill (https://www.mhprofessionalresources.com//sites/CISSPExams/exam.php?id=AccessControl). I used a couple of others such as FedVTE and Skillsoft but don't think I learned much from them but the Skillsoft practice tests were a help.

    You will see on here most will recommend Sybex 7th and cybrary.it.

    Concur with dhay13

    There is a large industry devoted to CISSP training, such as bootcamps, 1000 page tomes, etc.

    What's your background? DO you have 5 years experience across 2 of the 8 domains? Or a degree and 4 years? The CISSP exam is a totally different beast from the Sec+. Sec+ is an entry level cert for security... CISSP quite advanced... think of the Sec+ as high school and the CISSP as a masters degree as an analogy

    It is still based off the old 10 domain exam but the questions are still relevant and will give you an idea of where you need help.
