I have been studying for CISSP off and on for the last year. It is that time for me to allow more time for studying and allow myself concentrate on the concepts. In addition, I went to SANS institute here in USA for training. I work in US as a DoD contractor and this certification carries a lot of weight for their 8570 initiative. Please provide more insightful advice and effective study habits to pass the exam. successfully. My goal is to pass the exam in 2-3 months as I have been studying on and off. Very Respectfully, Gopal. Hi Niranjan:

As for CISSP it's all about security concepts. Experience in Network/Security would be very helpful indeed but I think you should still be able to do it since you've already passed CISA. Good luck and Happy Diwali! Hi Rukmani, I’m glad that you found the post helpful and congratulations on passing CISA. As for CISSP it’s all about security concepts.

I'd replied to your email but got a bounce back from yahoo. So, I'm replying you here. I'm glad that you find the post very informative. In terms of insights about the CISSP exam, I think I've pretty much included everything I could tell in the post. If I had to add more, I would say this: CISSP is all about CONCEPTS. As for the domains I think most important domains are following: 1. Access Control. 2. Telecommunications and Network Security. 3. Information Security and Risk Management. 4. Security Architecture and Design. 5. BCP & DRP. Hope this helps. Good luck for your preparation and exams. Hi Vaibhav,
