The (ISC)^2® CISSP®: Certified Information Systems Security Professional Official Study Guide, Ninth Edition, offers you a solid foundation for the Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) exam. By purchasing this book, you've shown a willingness to learn and a desire to develop the skills you need to achieve this certification. This introduction provides you with a basic overview of this book and the CISSP exam.

This book is designed for readers and students who want to study for the CISSP certification exam. If your goal is to become a certified security professional, then the CISSP certification and this study guide are for you. The purpose of this book is to adequately prepare you to take the CISSP exam.

Before you dive into this book, you need to have accomplished a few tasks on your own. You need to have a general understanding of IT and of security. You should have the necessary five years of full-time paid work experience (or four years if you have a college degree) in two or more of the eight domains covered by the CISSP exam. If you are qualified to take the CISSP exam according to (ISC)², then you are sufficiently prepared to use this book to study for it. For more information on (ISC)², see the next section.

(ISC)² also allows for a one-year reduction of the five-year experience requirement if you have earned one of the approved certifications from the (ISC)² prerequisite pathway. These include certifications such as Certified Authorization Professional (CAP), Certified Information Security Manager (CISM), Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA), Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert (CCIE), Cisco Certified Network Associate Security (CCNA Security), CompTIA Advanced Security Practitioner (CASP), CompTIA Security+, CompTIA Cybersecurity Analyst (CySA+), and many of the Global Information Assurance Certification (GIAC) certifications. For a complete list of qualifying certifications, visit www.isc2.org/Certifications/CISSP/Prerequisite-Pathway.

You can use only one of the experience reduction measures, either a college degree or a certification, not both.

If you are just getting started on your journey to CISSP certification and do not yet have the work experience, then our book can still be a useful tool in your preparation for the exam. However, you may find that some of the topics covered assume knowledge that you don't have. For those topics, you may need to do some additional research using other materials, and then return to this book to continue learning about the CISSP topics.
