How the Chapters Are Organized


CISSP For Dummies (now in its second edition) is unique in the For Dummies series. Because the CISSP examination covers such a broad base of information, we don’t recommend skipping any of the material in this book. The information presented in some of the chapters may be familiar to you or easier to understand than others, but we still recommend at least a quick, cursory read of those chapters. For this reason, we don’t include a quick assessment test at the beginning of each chapter as in other For Dummies certification books. Instead, we chose to pack this book with as much useful information as possible to help you succeed in your quest for the CISSP certification.

Chapter introductions

The first page of each domain chapter begins with a brief introduction to the domain covered therein. You also find a list of chapter objectives that closely correlates to the CISSP knowledge objectives for that domain.

Study subjects

In the heart of each CISSP domain chapter, we extensively cover the knowledge objectives listed in the CISSP CBK. These chapters provide the relevant information for the CISSP exam with enough detail to place the information into proper context.

Tables and illustrations

To be helpful to you in your study, we provide tables and illustrations of important information or concepts whenever we can. However, because CISSP is a vendor-neutral certification, don’t expect to find screen captures or simulation-type graphics. More room for good, old-fashioned information!

Prep Tests

Finally, we conclude each CISSP domain chapter with a quick, 10-question multiple-choice Prep Test. Note: The prep tests at the end of each of these chapters are not the type of questions that you find on the actual CISSP examination. (See the CD-ROM for sample questions similar to those found on the CISSP exam.) Instead, the prep tests are meant to help you recall important information that we present in the chapter to help you answer questions on the actual exam.
