Hi Everyone! I received the following message from ISC2 three days after writing the CISSP exam, but I haven’t been able to update the platform until now due to urgent family matters. The message read: "Congratulations! We are pleased to inform you that you have passed the Certified Information Systems Security Professional examination. You have successfully completed the first step toward earning your certification and becoming an ISC2 member..." From my experience, I’ve learned that the key to passing is understanding the core concepts and how they apply in real-world cybersecurity scenarios. Practice tests help, but not as much as truly grasping the principles. Thank you.

Hey everyone! 👋 I’ll be hosting a 1-hour session focused on Domain 4: Communication and Network Security — specifically tailored for fellow CISSP aspirants like you and me. While I’m also on this CISSP journey, I’ve managed to grasp some of the trickier topics using real-world analogies and simple examples. If you’ve been finding concepts like: - OSI Model 🧱 - IPv4 & IPv6 🌍 - MAC Addresses 🏷️ - NAT & PAT 🔁 - ARP 🔍 - Common Protocols (TCP, UDP, ICMP, etc.) 📡 a bit overwhelming — this session is for you! 💡 My goal is to make these topics click for you, just like they did for me. I’ll do my best to simplify and clarify, and we’ll keep it interactive so you can ask questions along the way. 📅 Date & Time: Thursday's 10:30 𝐀𝐌 - (After Questions and Answers Session) Let’s make Domain 4 a little less intimidating — together! 💪 Thanks, and hope to see you there!

Happy to share that I successfully passed my CISSP exam this week. Just wanted to encourage someone to jump in to. Pete Zeter exam cram, Quantum exam, CISSP official exam 10th edition were good ressources for me.

Hello mates, This is a high-level, study-friendly article for each of the 8 CISSP domains, designed to support your study group. Each one provides clear explanations, key concepts, and study tips. Domain 1: Security and Risk Management This foundational domain covers the principles of confidentiality, integrity, and availability (CIA triad), along with risk management, compliance, and professional ethics. Key Topics: - CIA Triad & Governance - Risk Analysis (Qualitative/Quantitative) - Security Policies, Standards, Procedures, and Guidelines - Legal, Regulatory, and Privacy Requirements (GDPR, HIPAA, etc.) - Ethics (ISC2 Code of Ethics) Study Tip: Understand the difference between risk, threat, vulnerability, and impact. Practice calculating risk using simple formulas. Domain 2: Asset Security This domain focuses on protecting organizational assets, including data classification, ownership, privacy protection, and secure handling. Key Topics: - Data Classification & Ownership - Information Lifecycle - Data Remanence & Secure Disposal - Privacy Protection (PII, SPI) - Data Security Controls (Encryption, Access Control) Study Tip: Know who is responsible for what: data owner vs. data custodian. Map data classifications to appropriate security controls. Domain 3: Security Architecture and Engineering This domain explores secure design principles, system components, and the implementation of cryptography and secure system architectures. Key Topics: - Secure Design Principles (least privilege, defense in depth) - Security Models (Bell-LaPadula, Biba, Clark-Wilson) - Cryptography (symmetric/asymmetric, hashing, PKI) - Trusted Computing, TPM, and HSMs - Vulnerability Mitigation in Hardware and Software Study Tip: Focus on understanding how encryption works, how digital signatures ensure integrity and authenticity, and how models enforce access control. Domain 4: Communication and Network Security This domain focuses on network architecture, secure communication, and protocols.

Thanks for accepting me! My exam is on the 30th. I took this week off to finalize my studying efforts. Any tips or suggestions are welcome!
