Amit Kumar’s Post

A few months ago, clearing the CISSP exam felt like a very distant goal.  Today, I’m grateful to share that I have provisionally cleared the CISSP (Certified Information Systems Security Professional) certification by ISC2. There were days filled with motivation and confidence, and  There were days of burnout, self-doubt, revising the same topics repeatedly, and  Questioning whether I was retaining enough.  The process taught me consistency, discipline and patience. I’m genuinely thankful to the incredible resources that guided me throughout this journey: Books & References: • ISC2 CISSP Official Study Guide (Sybex 10th Edition) Mike Chapple, James Michael Stewart, Darril Gibson. • Memory Palace by Prashant Mohan, CISSP-ISSAP, CCSP Prashant Mohan, CISSP-ISSAP, CCSP • How to Think Like a Manager by Luke Ahmed Luke Ahmed 🚀 Video Courses & Learning Resources: • Udemy CISSP Course by Thor Pedersen (ThorTeaches) Thor Pedersen - Lead trainer at ThorTeaches • CISSP Cram Session by Pete Zerger Pete Zerger, vCISO, CISSP • CISSP MindMaps by Destination Certification Inc.
