CCSP - how hard is the exam
hi everyone,
I passed my cissp about a year ago and I want to take my CCSP by end of this year.
I don't have cloud experience.
I have 19 years of IT experience including vmware, AD , firewalls and infosec.
I have my SSCP, CISSP and security + certs, I had the ccna cert too, but it expired.
how many months should I study to pass this exam.
what books do you recommend I should read?
any free online training other than cybrary?

You should only need a quick refresher on the infrastructure (30%), SSCP level security questions (30%), and operations (15%) portions due to your experience. You should be strong on the application security (15%) being fresh out of CISSP training. The legal and compliance (10%) felt different from the CISSP content, although I took my CISSP 6 years ago. So hitting ISO 27000 series standards decently hard might be in order.
I couldn't find any good training for the CCSP. I'm taking mine as part of the WGU BS in Cybersecurity & IA program, which offers Skillsoft and uCertify. I have been told uCertify and Cybrary courses are trash for this course, and Skillsoft is not enough.
Others have recommended the ITProTV course ($25/mo) and the Sybex book ($21 on amazon) which comes with a quality test bank.
