CISM ExamFOCUS Study Notes & Review Questions 2013
CISM is NOT a pure technical cert. In fact it tends to focus more on the policies/programs and management side of IS. There are technical questions but the questions are not like those that you can find in the MS/Cisco exams.
The CISM exam topics include:
Information Security Governance
Information Security Program Development
Information Security Program Management
Incident Management and Response
You need to know the basics of new IT technologies but you also need to know the older technologies since many old stuff are still at work in the modern business world. When we develop our material we do not classify topics the BOK way. We follow our own flow of instructions which we think is more logical for the overall learning process. Don’t worry, it does not hurt to do so, as long as you truly comprehend the material.
To succeed in the exam, you need to read as many reference books as possible. There is no single book that can cover everything!
