I am happy to inform you all that I passed the CISSP exam yesterday 31 Jan 2026!!! It was a great experience. I really appreciate this platform and people on the platform that helped me in solidifying the CISSP mindset from numerous exam practices. At 100 question the test engine stopped and advised me to complete a survey!!! at that time I had 90min left on the clock!!! I really paced myself on the test!!! My advice: ALWAYS THINK LIKE A MANAGER!!! IF I CAN DO IT YOU CAN DO BETTER!!!

I felt like such a robot 🤖 posting the question this morning. I needed to say hello to all our wonderful members!! Okay, okay, the question... A company deploys a zero trust network where every request is authenticated, authorized, and encrypted. During an incident, investigators cannot reconstruct attack paths because traffic patterns are indistinguishable once inside the fabric. Security wants forensic clarity without weakening zero trust principles. What is the MOST appropriate architectural adjustment? A. Decrypt and inspect all internal traffic at centralized gateways B. Implement per request cryptographic identity and flow labeling C. Increase east west traffic logging at network choke points D. Reintroduce internal trust zones to simplify attribution Come back for the answer tomorrow, or study more now!

A product team deploys an AI assisted code generation tool directly into the CI pipeline. Developers report faster releases, but security finds no reliable way to prove which portions of code were human written versus AI generated during post incident review. Leadership values speed and traceability. What is the MOST appropriate control to implement FIRST? A. Require manual peer review of all AI generated code B. Enforce code provenance and artifact attestation in the pipeline C. Limit the AI tool to non production repositories only D. Increase static analysis coverage on all builds Come back for the answer tomorrow, or study more now!

After a suspected insider incident, system logs from multiple servers show inconsistent timestamps and missing entries. Legal counsel advises that the organization may face litigation. Operations wants logs centralized immediately to restore visibility. What should the security manager do FIRST? A. Centralize all logs immediately to improve operational monitoring B. Preserve existing logs and establish forensic chain of custody C. Reconfigure time synchronization across all affected systems D. Notify law enforcement and external counsel of potential evidence gaps

An organization adopts a Zero Trust model and removes implicit trust between internal network segments. Shortly after deployment, several business-critical applications experience latency and intermittent access failures. Leadership questions whether the Zero Trust initiative should be rolled back. What should the security architect do FIRST? A. Roll back Zero Trust controls to restore application performance B. Perform a targeted assessment to identify policy enforcement points causing disruption C. Permanently whitelist affected applications to bypass Zero Trust controls D. Escalate the issue to vendors to redesign the Zero Trust architecture
