Transcripts
hey guys welcome to the session on
coffee with PR and today we're going to
discuss about how to prepare for cisp
exam in free free free free exactly
you're in the right channel where I'm
going to discuss about the stepbystep
process from the day one to day 30 how
with the free resource not a complete
free but yeah a combination with the
help of that you can able to clear the
CSP new exam 2024 in a one month so
before going to watch this video do
subscribe to my Channel and click on the
Bell icon to make sure you should not
miss my future videos and if you talk
about my profile you can check my
LinkedIn I have a 17 plus year of
experience in the information security
and I'm taking a cssp from last approx
12 year so without wasting a time let's
start with the first part thank you
[Music]
[Music]
okay so in this video Ive divided the
entire activity a stepbystep process in
four or five steps the first step is
that
videos exactly I always recommend to
start preparing for CSS from videos so
there's are two resources which highly
recommend if you want to start the CSS
with videos the first is called as a Mr
th Peterson his videos are there on a UD
me okay very cost effective very to the
point detail one video that you can
basically refer and the second video
which I would recommend is Mr Pete cram
videos which is on YouTube so for more
information you can check in my
description box I will share the
playlist of that particular guy Now
petcam videos are free videos which is
available on YouTube and for Peterson
are the paid videos which is available
on the udv so these are the two primary
videos you can refer while preparing for
the exam and I highly recommend start
with the videos first because videos
will give you the explanatory topics
video will explain you the topic in more
detailed manner then it is easy for you
to read in the book so that is a first
part that is a book you have to start
with the book first okay now after
watching either Thor video or petcam
videos now you got the visibility now
second is shall I refer any book
definitely the book if you already
having a ninth Edition Cybex that is
enough that is still enough because the
compensatory the topics for that Thor Mr
Pete has already covered in his YouTube
video but you know if you don't have any
book then wait till June 10 or June 15
the 10th edition of cyx is going to be
roll out by Mr Mike Chapel so it is a
cyx official guide Mike Chapel is the
author and his 10th edition book is
basically a very good book which give
you the better visibility about the CP
so the from the book perspective the C
CeX 10th edition that you can refer or
if you're already having a n9th Edition
that is decent enough so that is a book
part now after referring to the book
pointers and all that you know so the
best thing about the cyx book they have
organized the domains into chapters so
in cissp we basically have a eight
domains they organize into the eight
domain because domains are representing
as a department okay because once you
clear the CP exam you need to
demonstrate your five years of
experience in any two domain so that is
why the cssp organized a content in a
form of domain but Mike Chapel Cybex
book which is a ninth or new which is
called 10th edition have organized all
the particular eight domains into 21
chapters so I highly recommend when you
reviewing those chapters okay in the
first page of the book you can see how
many chapters are ma with particular
domain so they organize the things into
domain plus mapping with chapters now
let's take example how to read book if
you want to understand how to read book
please check this particular video which
I already uploaded on YouTube because it
will really help you to save your time
now I'm imagining like you have complete
the domain one video from pedc or th now
you refer the domain one from the Mike
Chapel book after that you want to get
the more clarity so I already have my
coffee shots for domain one I uploaded
some of the coffee shot now what is
coffee shot coffee shot basically mean
for some topics I have created some
questions because I personally believe
to understand the topic more in deta
detail you can basically map with the
questions because questions give you
more clarity so after completing domain
one you can refer those Coffee shots
example like I already created a Coffee
shots for the risk management uh BCP
threat modeling risk appetite all these
Coffee shots compliance all are there so
first domain one video then domain one
book then Coffee shots so this is
basically solidify your concept so
complete is book has so just assuming
that okay you have completed the book
you completed the video and from there
you basically prepare the notes now one
more important thing is that after every
chapter there's a key exam summaries
there in a CeX please please please
refer that summary because that is the
most important point of every chapter do
not skip that I repeat after every
chapter there is a exam summaries there
make sure you should refer the exam
summary because that is the most
important blueprint of the exam so I'm
assuming you're done with the book
you're done with the videos you're done
with the coffee shot now it is in a
stage where you have to practice
questions so second part of this video
we're going to discuss about what are
the different sours of practice
questions you have to refer okay so
second part of this particular video
we're going to discuss about the
practice questions okay in my previous
video okay uh I always refer some key
pointers of practice questions and all
that but today I can say there's a new
source is out which is also give you
good visibility of the practice question
so first question bank which is mobile
app called as a learn Zed app okay in
the description box I can share see I'm
not getting any paid uh you can say
partnership cost something from this
okay it is just a informative video
which I want to create which give you
awareness so there's no promotion video
and all that and that company doesn't
pay me anything so neither Mike Chapel
is paying neither this learn Z app
compan is paying I'm just sharing what I
basically refer to my paid customers
okay so learn Z app is the first
practice question Bank you should refer
now what is the benefit of learn Z app
now in learn Z app they have more than
5,000 questions and those questions are
basically mapped with the topics okay
let's take example you are referring to
the risk management okay now you need to
understand how the question can be
framed so learn Z app basically have
those questions which is mapped with
that particular topic one thing you need
to understand in cissp you cannot clear
the exam by just reading a book you have
to practice more and more questions
understand that's a very important part
so first question bank is basically
called as a learn Zed app okay now I'm
assuming you're done with the learns It
app questions now during the questions
you identifying some questions in which
having a w terms words and all that now
note down all those pointers okay I'm
getting repeatedly mistakes in BCP I'm
getting repeatedly mistakes in
cryptography so make a note of that and
refer points those points again from the
cyx book okay how to read CeX I share
again so there's a video I already
uploaded on YouTube it will save your
time it will save your time please
please please check that video okay so
so second question bank is basically
called as a bosone see when you're
talking bosone again bosone company
doesn't paying me for that content okay
I'm just sharing what I got the feedback
so boson question bank is basically the
language is somehow you get the same
kind of exam but not at same but that
give you visibility so you can say
maturity of learnet app is to give you
visibility of cyx question then you move
to the next level where you get a
holistic view how to think like a
manager and all that for that I refer
the boson question the third question
bank I highly recommend you must do you
must do which is called as a my brother
book which is called as a Luke Ahmed 25
questions two major advantage of doing
those question Bank One it give you
visibility about how to think like a
manager second it give you visibility
about how to handle the technical
question that guy has spent more than a
year for that book and the book has a
great success story so my hum
recommendation is refer that particular
book so that you can get those those 25
questions give you more visibility about
how to think like a manager so summary
is that three practice questions first
start with the learn app that give you
quick summary quick recap of what is in
the CeX second is basically called
bosone which give you more maturity
about how to think like a manager
identical to the the real exam kind of a
thing but not like that but you get a
visibility and the third is basically
called as a Luke Ahmed think like a
manager question Bank fourth question
bank is also so if you're not
comfortable to pay learn at app and all
that then Mike Chapel I think fourth
edition question bank will be out by
next month so that you can check but I
highly recommend learn that app question
you can basically check okay that's the
most important thing one more important
thing before you start with all these
questions right all these four set of
questions on all that before that there
a one video you must watch this Andrew
ramal video see I don't have any kind of
insecurity in promoting other trainers
because my end goal is to give you the
awareness okay I highly recommend even I
recommend this video to my participants
when they go for the question bank so
before you're going to practice learnit
app questions before you're going to
practice your boson questions or Luke
ahed think like a manager check this
video first this guy has basically
created a visibility about how to think
like a maner manager how to eliminate
and all that so this is video is a very
good video is a eye opener video for you
to how to think like a manager another
video I highly recommend is Miss Kelly
henderhan her video is a 15 Minutes
video which talk about the C principle
and the third video is the very
important video of DN who have created
think like a manager and all that so
that videos you can basically refer now
we done with the this uh what you called
question Banks and all that now we
moving to the next part the third part
which is called as a important thing
that you have to refer 2 weeks before
the exam so I'm assuming in 20 days okay
4 Hour a weekday and 8 Hour a weekend in
two three weeks you have complete all
these things
now most most important part here is
basically what should we do two weeks
before the exam because it's not
possible for you to refer book again so
I highly recommend
one video which you must watch is
destination certification mind map see
now you're in a position you understood
everything but how to connect so this
mind map which is more than 10 hour
quality content upload on the YouTube
which is called destination
certification Robert video John John B
so these videos are basically very
important because it give you the
holistic view of all the connectors and
then from there you make a note so I'm
assuming you have made the final notes
okay so after the destination
certification CeX books and all that now
you need a quick summary so there is
another book you must must watch oh
sorry must read which is called as a
Memory Palace by prashad Mohan my
brother he did amazing job he already
launched the latest version of Memory
Palace what is the benefit of memory
palaces it is a it's like a summary it
is like a crisp summary of all the books
which is required for you to clear the
exam he really did amazing job and
there's a lot of success story talk
about the prashad moan Memory Palace so
refer that particular book okay week
before the exam so summar is that start
with the videos get the clarity to
validate the clarity read the cyx 9th
Edition if you want you can also refer
the all-in-one uh which is called Shan
Harris book once you're done with this
you move to the question practice start
with a Rand ramal video which give you
understanding about how to eliminate
questions and all that and then you can
basically refer the Cali video once you
get the clarity from there you start
with the practice questions the first is
called as learn Z app which is like a uh
testing the knowledge of CeX which is a
very good book a very good app then they
have a second question bank which is
called bosone third is Think Like a
manager luk hmer and after that two week
before the exam you can basically refer
the Mind map videos of destination
certification and prashan moan Memory
Palace from all these things you have to
create only two page note and that note
should be referred three week three days
before the exam because you don't have a
time to refer everything and all that so
it's very important you need to you know
review all these things make sure I miss
one point after every domain reading
after videos and reading you should
refer my coffee shs I'm not promoting my
coffee sh like that there's a reason for
that because every coffee sh which I
created it is topic wise so if you talk
about cryptography domain 4 domain 8 all
those videos I already uploaded in
YouTube channel if you want updated
playlist domain wise drop me a comment I
will basically share
the Google Drive Link for that okay so
that is the most important part so this
is basically all about the preparation
that you have to follow in sequence now
second part of this particular video
where I want to explain you how to think
and what to think when you're preparing
for cssp okay now I explain you what is
the sequence you have to follow see I
highly recommend you start your day with
cisp only so example like your mind is
fresh okay so first 2 hour of your day
before you preparing for yourself office
and all that you can start with the
videos and in the night before sleeping
review the notes because what I'll tell
you reason why I highly recommend to
study in the morning because see you
already spend your 9 to 10 hours in the
office and after that exhaustiveness and
all that you're going to concentrate it
is difficult so your mind is basically
very fresh your mind is very focused in
the morning so I highly recommend okay I
highly recommend to do the all the
reading stuff video stuff and practice
questions in the morning and what are
the revisions you have before going to
sleep to basically review those topics
and before going to sleep do
manifestation okay I'm thinking I'm a
manager if I'm using symmetric
cryptography this is how I'm doing a
data encryption so that memory with
manifestation will help you rain the
topic so do not read the book only for
the sake of clearing the exam understand
why be behind the topic it's a very
important part I'll explain with the
example symmetric cryptography is
basically use same key to encrypt and
decrypt the data if you remember like
this you will not able to remember the
things but understand the use case okay
it use same key to encrypt decrypt the
data because it is basically faster why
a asymmetric was introduced to key
exchange okay now domain four now in
domain four do I need to read so
detailed technical things no I'm reading
IPC IPC is a protocol suit which is used
to prot IB packets right but exam is all
about why okay until as your why is not
clear you cannot able to understand the
concept okay I understood IPC used to
protu the packet suit okay so you have a
Clarity how IPC work then only know how
the IPC use in the company is it clear
like IPC is a protocol security so IPC
work on layer three understood so that
is how you need to understand so until
you don't know how IPC work you won't
able to answer the question in the exam
now let's say another example is
firewall firewall is a device which is
used to protect the organization from
Exel attack so how fireal works you
should know high level that is why you
can able to answer in the exam if the
question talking about any problem
statement okay you are a security
consultant company want to implement
solution to protect from external
attacks oh okay answer is firewall
because you ref you read the firewall in
the CX so when you're reading a domain
three and domain four don't do deep
technical understand high level how it
works use chat GPT and with that
reference you can basically prepare the
topic that's the most important part now
second most important part when you're
doing a preparations and all that is
when you practice questions do practice
question in the morning and all the
revisions do in the evening for those
Point that's the most important
part the day before the exam day before
the exam and do Ram video and all your
summary notes that you prepare that you
should refer that's it and by evening
just relax morning don't do anything if
you have a morning exam because you want
to use your three hour of energy in that
particular exam so my recommendation is
basically don't do anything in the
morning the day of the exam so this is
all from my side do let me know how do
you find this particular video and do
share your suggestions and comments in
the comment box which help me to improve
the video please note without of without
you and nothing okay this channel is
basically today stand at 990,000
subscriber because of you if you have
not subscribed to the channel do
subscribe so you get more knowledgeable
content from my side hope you find this
video and to to share your network for
more information thank you so much
