CISSP — Certified Information Systems Security Professional (ISC2) — Study Hub

Prepare for the CISSP (Certified Information Systems Security Professional) with a streamlined, blueprint-aligned funnel:

• Overview: Format, who it’s for, exam weighting, and a 4–8 week study plan.
• Syllabus: Objectives by the 8 CBK domains to guide daily sprints.
• Cheatsheet: High-yield contrasts (RBAC vs ABAC vs MAC), crypto/PKI, SDLC, network & cloud security, IR/BCP/DR, and governance/risk math.
• Practice: Timed scenario drills and full-length mocks that match CISSP’s judgment-heavy style.
• FAQ: Deep answers on exam flow, adaptive scoring mindset, and domain depth.
• Resources: Official references, frameworks (NIST/ISO/CIS), and curated tooling.
• Updates: Blueprint/version changes and how our content adapts.

What CISSP emphasizes: risk-based decision-making, secure architecture & engineering, identity & access, network/cloud security, software development security, security operations/IR, and governance/compliance—applied with least privilege, defense-in-depth, and secure-by-default thinking.

Tip: Treat CISSP as an architect/lead exam. In scenarios, pick controls that are preventive, auditable, and scalable—aligned to policy, risk appetite, and business constraints.
