For some reason this huge book is mistitled. It should be called “Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Security” or “The CISSP Preparation Guide”. At 699 pages in hardcover, along with a CD filled with additional material, you could hurt someone with this book. It is big and powerful in a literary and physical sense.Nobody has ever said that security is a small topic. This guide illustrates the depth and vastness of our field in an elegant way. At first glance, you may be intimidated by the enormous amount of information filled through all the pages and across all the chapters. Robin Abernathy and Troy McMillian did a great job of picking apart all the subtopics that are needed to know if you want to pass the CompTIA Advanced Security Practitioner certification.More importantly, this book is an excellent prep guide for taking the CISSP and for getting a good job in this ever growing profession. The pay is good here, too. To be completely honest, the pay is damn good in this field and there is a massive shortage of qualified people in this profession. Grab this book and start learning.Now for the bad news. This is my own opinion and has nothing to do with the great work that the authors did on this book. The CompTIA Advanced Security Practitioner is being advertised as a big step up from their Security + certification. For those of you who don’t know, the Security + is a baby step certificate. It is a license to get your foot in the door, to learn even more.The CASP is an 85 question exam. I was at first shocked to read this in the book until I began laughing at the meaning of this. My daughter in elementary school has exams that have this many questions on them. The permit to register my dog has this many questions on it.
I used this book to prepare and successfully pass CASP exam this month (July, 2016). I found some editing mistakes here and there, but nothing serious. The only thing I (kind of) didn't like is the fact that it's pretty noticeable that some chapters are written in a more "easy-read" format, while others are written in a "dry" and uninteresting ways. In other words, authors didn't really have a compatible writing styles, resulting in some inconsistencies with reading materials - some chapters are full of examples and real-world scenarios, while other not so much, making the learning process harder.Now, I would also like to get some thing out of the way as I've seen that people keep asking the questions:1) Is this book enough to prepare you for the exam?Short answer: No, it is not.Long Answer: While the book itself covers pretty much everything that you will be tested on the exam, the book alone will not 100% prepare you, but this has nothing to do with the book. Rather, it has to do with the exam itself which is broad and difficult as vast majority of questions are scenarios that require you to think and read carefully and then provide the best answer (out of 4-8 offered answers, many times at least 2 are correct, but one is more correct as it is more suited for the presented scenario). Not to mention performance-based questions that require you to deal with Cisco/Linux CLI, design a network....Meaning, you have to poses real, hands-on knowledge and experience or otherwise you will find this exam extremely hard.2) Is CASP worth it and where/how it stands comparing to the "gold standard" security cert - CISSP?IMHO, CASP exam is on the same level and maybe even harder than CISSP.
