This content provides a comprehensive guide to the Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) exam, including an overview of the certification, its benefits, how to study for it, and even offering free CISSP practice questions. If you're considering entering the Cybersecurity field or looking to enhance your credentials with a CISSP certification, this guide will be invaluable.

CISSP stands for Certified Information Systems Security Professional. It's widely recognized as the "Gold Standard" of Cybersecurity certifications, providing a broad but not overly technical understanding of crucial security topics. It’s often described as having breadth rather than depth - "mile wide" and an "inch deep".

One of the primary benefits of acquiring a CISSP certification is its favorability with HR professionals. It can significantly boost your chances of landing an interview and potentially securing a role in Cybersecurity. This certification has the highest job hits of any other Cybersecurity certification, thus increasing the effectiveness of your resume and its success with Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS).

However, to obtain the CISSP certification, you need to fulfill certain prerequisites. Contrary to popular belief, you don't necessarily need "five years of work in cybersecurity". Instead, you require five years of experience in at least two of the eight CISSP domains. This means if you're a desktop admin performing Identity and Access Management (IAM) and Asset Security, you could be eligible. If you possess any of the ISC^2 approved certifications, your required experience reduces to four years.

Studying for the CISSP certification involves a three-phase approach: Priming, Learning, and Polishing/Review. The first phase, Priming, involves viewing educational videos such as Mike Chapple’s series on LinkedIn Learning to gain a basic understanding of the topics.

The second phase, Learning, focuses on solving practice questions and understanding the logic behind each correct and incorrect answer. You need to dig deeper into any areas that seem unclear or confusing to you.

The final phase, Polishing/Review, centers on revisiting the materials you've studied and solidifying your understanding of the concepts. Tools like Anki, a spaced-repetition application, can help you review the material effectively.

As a bonus, you can access a free deck of over 1000 CISSP practice questions. To use these, you'll need to download and install Anki. Click the link provided, download and unzip the deck onto your desktop, and import it into Anki. You can then customize how many new cards you'd like to see each day to tailor your study routine.

For those seeking a more hands-on experience, there's also a cybersecurity operations course available, where you get to interact with live attack traffic in the cloud, practicing incident response against actual attackers using Azure and Microsoft Sentinel.

The combination of theoretical knowledge from the CISSP certification and practical experience from this course could give you a significant boost in your Cybersecurity career. It's worth the investment of time and effort, given the demand for skilled professionals in this field. Best of luck in your Cybersecurity journey!

Just took the CISSP after taking the advice from Josh here... NGL I thought I failed, because the format of the questions in the exam are very different from the way the practice questions word them, but alas I was given a passing score!!! Take the steps prescribed in this video and you should pass! Wishing everyone the best in their efforts!

Yea, Josh... can't put you on 2x. That's too fast for me. Passed the CISSP yesterday, basically 3 years after my MSCSIA from WGU. Very manager-oriented exam for me where most questions were asking which is the BEST or which is the MOST LIKELY.
