Hello everybody! past Friday I have passed the CISSP exam! Incredible! I wanna thank you this group especially for giving me every day some "reminder" that I had to study That has improved my perseverance in reaching this goal. Let me tell you, if you really want, you will pass this exam! It is very challenging but it is doable. For me it was a marathon, not a sprint. I started 1 year ago following a 6 days bootcamp that was based on the All in One book; that was very useful for me to have a general idea on all the domains and for the first time to finish all the domains; I had tried on the past by reading the OSG book, but no way to complete it, too boring. Meanwhile the exam was going to change, so I decided to wait couple of months. Around august, I went on Udemy and bought the Thor Pederson videos, which is based on the OSG book . Videos are nice, cause you can watch on free time, regulate the speed, review, etc.. But I tend to think that you will have a passive approach with that. I begon also to look on the web, reading about other people stories (Reddit, discord, this group) ; that is also very valuable, cause I started to have an idea about how the exam was made; how is working the CAT, where to look for more videos and to find my strategy. I decided lastly to focus on fixing some concepts that I had difficulty to memorize using the learzapp, like all those US laws and regulations, terrible :-) Last 2 months I did about 2000 questions and 4 tests; doing some practice almost every day. I watched also the 50 questions think like a manager video, that I advise to watch, to understand the mental switch you have to do if you are too technical, so focus on the "why" instead of the "how". Last 2 weeks I bought the Gwen Bettwey questions on Udemy; that was important because the exam style goes more in that direction than the learnZapp, in term of style and complexity. Finally, the day of the exam, I tried to create the better possible conditions for me; I went on a Friday morning (I am fresher in the morning ); I arrived 1 hour in advance to the test center, so I had the time to have a coffee, etc..I could start half hour earlier than planned.

Practice Question!
Jim's organization-wide implementation of IDaas offers broad support for cloud-based applications. Jim's company does not have internal identity management staff and does not use centralized identity services. Instead, they rely upon Active Directory for AAA services. Which of the following options should Jim recommend to best handle the company's onsite identity needs?

I literally do not understand this question, probably my English is not so good; is this company using a 3rd part IDaas for cloud applications or they offer IDaas? they have active directory but they do not use a centralized identity services. Isn't AD a centralized identity service? What is the company need? we can assume that they might want to use only 1 type of authentication, in such case I would chose SAML, but in general it is a quite confusing question. I have seen somewhere same question, probably one of those questions you just need to answer by eliminating the ones that make not much sense.

Thank you Brandis, your answer pushed me to research some more! I still think C is the best choice, but I understand what you referring to security issues by using a cloud based service; but like Thor Pedersen says, for the exam we need to think like we have a perfect company .. anyway IAM is by far my worst domain :-)
Need Help Choosing CISSP Study Materials: Feeling Lost and Overwhelmed
Hello, I’m feeling a bit lost regarding the materials I need to prepare for the CISSP certification. I want to get certified within a reasonable timeframe, but I don’t know where to start. Many people recommend different books, videos, and other resources, and I’d like something clear and focused to guide me. I’m looking for up-to-date materials that will give me what I need to prepare effectively without being excessive. A practical Study Guide seems like a good fit, but I’d appreciate your recommendations on what to use. Also, since I’m based in Europe, resources from the U.S. tend to be much more expensive for me. Could you suggest options that are accessible for someone living in Europe? Thank you so much for your help! Best regards.

A live bootcamp is very useful at the beginning to help you to have a general overview of the 8 domains and to filter the information; if you start by reading a book, you will give up after couple of days; video's are also good, also cause you can rewatch adjust speed subtitles etc.., but they are not interactive; finally I use mainly learnzapp for questions which is good to repeat concepts and simulate a bit on the exam. At the end there is no one way to study, it is more a personal journey, you will find out yourself your way.
