3. (ISC)2 Overview & Key areas of knowledge in the 8 new CISSP domains
(ISC)2 has released a candidate information bulletin in line with the new CISSP exam blueprint. This massive document includes overviews of each of the 8 brand new CISSP domains alongside the key areas of knowledge you’ll need to understand to pass your exam.
This resource is excellent for any professional who needs a quick refresher on what’s contained in the new CISSP domains.
However, don’t treat the information found here as replacements for experience or knowledge - (ISC)2 state that, “[The candidate information bulletins] were developed to provide candidates with basic information…the outlines are not intended to be in-depth reviews of the examination.”
