It's no secret there is a TON of resources out there for the CISSP exam. Right? There are tons of courses, tons of books, countless videos, and guides...
You name it, it's out there on the Internet. So...why do so many people STILL FAIL the CISSP exam with all of this material out there?
In a word: Mindset.
No, I'm not talking about the "buzzword" mindset like "just think like a (insert role) and you'll pass the exam" kind of thing. While the intention may be good with that, I see that as a shortcut method that hardly ever works.
In fact, if you have never been a manager, advisor, or CIO...how can you think like one? You can't, right? You don't have the experience to relate to that.
See, this is exactly where I went wrong. I tried to shortcut my way to earning the CISSP certification.
I trusted too many people to teach me something they have never done themselves (with the exception of Shon Harris. She was awesome!).
That trust led me down a path of CISSP failure because most of the learning material is packed with irrelevant information and did not relate to my work experience at all.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying these authors or instructors were bad. It's not that. I'm just saying that I couldn't learn from any of them.
And, I see this in our students before they start working with me. They had the same exact problem I did, and many of them did not pass the CISSP exam as a result (even with all the materials they used).
Why? They were using way too much "stuff". They were overwhelmed with all of the training and books they had to consume, which just wasted time and money.
Then...they decided to work with me. And, as you can see below, a shift in mindset made all the difference for these awesome students.
"The CISSP training provided a summarized yet detailed overview of the 8 CISSP Domains. The videos and weekly sessions were designed to address salient points while covering the entire domain in good time.
The ultimate value was how I was able to apply the knowledge I had gained through the challenge and other materials I had been studying.
I would definitely recommend this to anyone trying to get CISSP certified and also those trying to gain this knowledge for use on their job."

"This was an amazing experience. Brandon is a very good teacher. He changed my "implementer" mindset to a different level within a couple of weeks.
Challenging, a lot of stuff covered, excellent practice tests that force you to think about security concepts from a manager's perspective.
I have passed my CISSP exam!"
David Spudich, CISSP
"The CISSP training that Brandon has put together is awesome, forget the dry boring books, mentors who talk at you, people who all think they know what they are doing - just stop.
If you want a way that works, in bite-size chunks with lots of quizzes and memory reinforcement, where the jokes are funny and the learning is serious then do one thing to become CISSP join Brandon’s course and you will PASS and not look back.
BTW there is a really supportive community here and that in itself is special. I followed the formula, method, and process and passed - so can you."
Dan Neal, CISSP
"After 2 unsuccessful attempts at CISSP I needed, a different way of thinking and approach to the exam, then stumbled across Brandon's CISSP Crash course, which then lead me to his CISSP training course.
Together with his exam guidance, this was the missing part of the puzzle I needed to be successful in my journey.
The added weekly live sessions and Brandon's enthusiasm is infectious, which helped drive that desire to be successful in achieving my CISSP certification, a very welcome relief from some of the other courses available."

Let's be honest about something. Some training out there just doesn't work because all it provides is information.
You know what I mean, right? Bullets upon bullets...and slides upon slides...of information.
The problem with that is information (materials) means nothing by itself. Knowledge (learning) is what really matters.
In other words, can you actually learn what you need from the information and be able to use it?
On the CISSP exam, you need to have real knowledge of the information. This is where a shift in mindset must happen to pass the CISSP exam.
I see so many people get caught up in memorization, mnemonics, and other shortcuts...that they forget the CISSP is the premier security certification.
Premier. Best in class. The gold standard.
What does that all mean? It means employers will expect a premier level of knowledge and capability from you as a CISSP.
This is why I encourage our students to learn things the right way as they prepare for the exam.
For one, it eliminates the need for shortcuts like "think this way" or "memorize this". What if they ask the question a different way? Now, you have to rely on knowledge, not shortcuts.
Listen, if you want to use endless amounts of free and cheap training materials and take your chances on the exam, I get it. I did the exact same thing.
For me, and so many others, it was a costly mistake. It cost me nearly $3,000 and 3 years of my life to earn the CISSP certification doing it this way. That doesn't include a 5-day boot camp my company paid for me to attend! Not to mention the embarrassment of failing in front of my friends, family, and co-workers.
If that's you, and you want to do it the hard way, no worries. Just know that information (and other materials) is not going to be enough.
To pass the CISSP exam, and reap the rewards ($$$) of this certification, you need to have a real working knowledge of the CISSP concepts.
And, this is EXACTLY what we teach inside our CISSP training.

Hi there, my friend. Brandon Spencer here. If you don't know me yet, I'm the president of BE INFOSEC and your instructor for all of our training courses.
I'm also a working security professional with over 22 years of experience in the industry.
I also LOVE the CISSP certification for many reasons. The main reason is that it changed my security career as soon as I got it. And I know it can do the same for you.
While I wish I could say that I passed the CISSP exam on my first try, I can't. I didn't pass on my second try either.
I failed multiple times, and it was really embarrassing. My family, friends, and co-workers all knew I failed too...and I felt like I let them down.
So why did I fail the exam? Even with 2 college degrees, and 2 other certifications, why could I not pass the CISSP exam? By doing it the same way most people are studying for the CISSP right now: I was using WAY too much stuff.
I knew there had to be a better way to prepare. A way that didn't put me to sleep and did not require me to go through book after book, and course after course while giving up my life.
That's when I figured out what it really takes to pass the CISSP exam. After I made some simple changes, I passed the exam on my very next try.
It's also exactly why I created our CISSP training programs...
The CISSP challenge is a proven, self-paced program that makes it nearly impossible for security professionals to fail the CISSP exam.
Specifically, we guide you through the entire learning process so that you can pass the CISSP exam...the next time you take it.
"Passed the CISSP exam on the first attempt! There is no doubt that this exam is a difficult exam. Stumbled on Brandon’s Crash course and my journey with preparing for the exam really started!
After the crash course, I signed up for the full course which was indeed the best and wisest decision I could have made, thank God for His leading!
The live sessions, study group, and most of all the questions that Brandon throws out to us not only help me understand how to tackle the exam questions, but have also given me an InfoSec mindset.
I can’t recommend him enough. Thank you!"
Ify Oti, CISSP
"I loved this course. Brandon is very passionate about the subject matter as well as his students.
The group interaction helps motivate you to study harder. The lessons are well put together and in a logical order.
Studying this CISSP training made me feel like we are all a family pursuing the ultimate goal of passing the exam, which I did.
I could not have done it without this course and Brandon, that believed I could do this.”
