Shon Harris announces release of CISSP All-in-One Exam Guide, Fifth Edition

Online, February 22, 2010 (Newswire.com) - San Antonio, February 5, 2010 - Shon Harris announces the newest edition of her preeminent guide to information security certification. For nearly ten years, the CISSP All-in-One Exam Guide has helped information security pros tackle the rigorous CISSP exam and gain CISSP certification. In the fifth edition, Harris adds expanded coverage of all ten exam areas, with the same easy-to-read and practical style that have made her previous guides famous.

"I appreciate the plain, clear, as simple as possible way the information is presented. It would be easy to make these concepts sound hard." says Stephen Northcutt, president of the SANS Technology Institute, of the fourth edition. "Shon does not do that. She tells the story of security as well as anyone ever has." He adds that the book is also "perfect for the CXO who wants to understand what security is and what they need to know about it."

The guide "is an engaging, informative and complete resource," says Treece Efird, a senior network engineer at Communications Products, on the fourth edition.

CISSP certification requires a breadth of knowledge across information security topic areas - also called the CBK, or Common Body of Knowledge -- which include cryptography, telecommunications and network security, business continuity and disaster recovery planning, applications security and legal, regulations, compliance and investigation, among others. Harris's approach to each complex category includes, in the guide and included CD-ROM:

Simulated exam questions
Learning objectives at the start of each chapter
Practice questions
Real-world situations
Video training
