 Important source for pass the exam September 2, 2010
tom sawyer
I used the 3rd edition when I took my exam like 3 or 4 years ago. I have not read this book but based on the previous edition, I'll give my HO. at the time, I had security+, project+ and ceh as well as a very strong background on systems. I used this as one of my main source of study material. I started with exam cram's book first to get an idea of stuff covered but this is the real source. my understanding is the book updates some topics but for the test there is a lot of overkill/subjects covered in great detail not needed for the test. it definitely is a large book but stay with it. just because it's not part of the test it's worth reading if you intend to work in security. Along with some other sources I discovered I successfully pass the exam. the exam isn't impossible by any stretch of the imagination but understand it's test you need practice concentrating for hours at a time. additionally had other notes and materials but this was well worth the time and money. I used to pass the exam on the first try. I was confident enough to ask on my way out if my name was spelled correctly (which it was but yet was wrong on the certificate that was sent out).
Great Book! August 2, 2010

So far so good! I've been reading the book - and was informed by other CISSP certified people - that this book will enhance your knowledge on Security - and knowledge for the CISSP exam. I am currently on Chapter 4.

I cannot say enough good things about this book. I used this and Exam Cram as my sole sources to prepare for this exam and I passed on my first try. I don't have a very technical background so this book prepared me thoroughly for the exam and also helped a great deal in my work as an IT Security Specialist.

I've had the pleasure to attend a CCISP class conducted by Shon Harris. She is an exceptional instructor and her All in One book translates the classroom discussions well to the written form.
Great coverage of all the required domains. Highly recommended!
I passed the CISSP using only this book and a TON of preparation May 31, 2010

There is no simple formula to prepare for the CISSP certification, and no single resource which can guarantee success on the certification exam since every applicant's background is unique. However, this book (fifth edition) was my only resource in preparing for the exam and I passed on my first attempt (April 24, 2010).
I spent 60+ hours in preparation for the exam... that's 60+ hours of DEDICATED individual study using this book and CD, not 60+ hours spent web surfing during lunch hours or commercial breaks. My recent background is in middle management, with 20 years experience in network architecture and data security, so I already had a firm technical foundation for the test areas dealing with protocols and encryption variations. I also have an MS in Computer Science. Nonetheless, the exam was so broad, with topics covering general principles and concepts, that I could have prepared twice as long and still left the exam with questions about the outcome.
My personal opinion is that formal classroom instruction, through one of the many organizations offering CISSP preparation courses, is a worthwhile companion to Shon Harris' book. A study group is also a good idea. You will not obtain CISSP certification if you take the exam without preparation. This book (fifth edition) was sufficient, but not 100% comprehensive, to prepare me for passing the CISSP test.
Note: Some reviewers do not appreciate Shon's frequent analogies and humor. Most of her analogies helped me internalize the complex topics, but that's my personal learning style. The efforts at humor were generally awful, but every once in a while she was subtle and brilliant enough to make me laugh out loud. Working through Shon's unique writing style was not a problem for me... I actually found it refreshing.
