CISSP and CAP Prep Guide: Platinum Edition!

An extensively updated version of the bestselling single-source study guide on the market, The CISSP and CAP Prep Guide: Platinum Edition, provides a complete study resource for the full spectrum of security certifications. It provides unparalleled breadth and depth of coverage of the numerous major changes to the CISSP exam, the new CAP credential, and it also includes valuable material for those taking the ISSAP®, ISSEP®, and ISSMP® exams.

The Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) exam remains the ultimate cyber security credential, the globally recognized standard of achievement in the information security field.

The CISSP and CAP Prep Guide, Platinum Edition, is a cost-effective and time-saving means of preparing for the CISSP, CAP, ISSEP, ISSAP, and ISSMP certification examinations. This guide boasts numerous improvements and additions, including:

  • Additional content, not available in any other study text
  • Expanded and updated Q&As
  • More graphics to boost understanding of difficult concepts
  • Thorough footnotes that point to more study resources
  • Updated material in all areas, reflecting changes in the CISSP examination
