I (@ Capri in group sessions) have passed the CISSP at 100 Questions with 50 mins time & 50 questions remaining, it was my first attempt, I was keeping it postponing from Mar 2026, thinking I lacked preperations every time when tried to press the exam appointment confirm button. I almost keep attending daily study group and answering daily question from about 6 months, group discussions, variety of question banks and sharing of failed / passed memebers exam experience gave me alot of help. I used the following study resources: OSG and Official practice tests Wiley & Parb Nair Coffee shots ( started preperations) cissp.app app - of course main source as discussed ( thankful to Mr Vincent ) Destination Cert YouTube series and solved 3100+ questions https://www.theinfosecvault.com, CISSP Zero to Hero by Mr Lorenzo Leonelli, solved 1000+ practice question and 300 + Board room challenge questions. frsecure.com › cisspFree CISSP Certification Training, overviewed presentations Andrew Ramdayal – 50 CISSP Practice Questions Infosec Train CISSP videos Pete Zerger, vCISO, CISSP CISSP videos Luke Ahmed 25 Questions “Why You Will Pass the CISSP Exam” — Kelly Handerhan www.cybernous.com Manoj Sherma videos Shon Gerber and Mike Capple Weekly Free CISSP Question ( receiving free after email subscription) Ms May Brook free CISSP Master classes, many questions from her quizzes were amazingly similar to real short questions of the exam.

An enterprise discovers that a widely used third-party monitoring agent embedded in multiple production servers has begun making undocumented outbound connections to an IP range controlled by a subcontractor the enterprise has never engaged. The agent is critical for operational visibility, and disabling it would blind several detection controls. No malicious activity has been confirmed, but threat intelligence reports suggest recent supply chain compromises involving similar agents. What should the security manager do FIRST? A. Immediately isolate all hosts running the agent from the network B. Conduct a rapid supplier risk reassessment and verify the legitimacy of the subcontractor relationship C. Disable the agent across production to eliminate potential exfiltration D. Escalate directly to regulators due to potential third-party data exposure

Rymar Tech’s SOC deploys a new AI-based anomaly detection system that suddenly begins generating an unusually high volume of high-risk alerts after being retrained with third-party data the previous night. No malicious activity has been confirmed, but the alert surge is overwhelming SOC analysts and impacting monitoring effectiveness. What should the incident response manager do FIRST? A. Disable the AI platform and revert to manual triage B. Escalate to the CISO and declare a security incident C. Initiate the incident response process beginning with detection and verification D. Conduct a model validation review with the third-party integrator
