Certification Corner The Official (ISC)2 Guide to the CISSP CBK, Fourth Edition is now available. This edition reflects the changes to the CBK that are effective April 15th, 2015. The digital download is available via the official (ISC)2 website at https://www.isc2.org/official-isc2-textbooks.aspx. The hardcover edition of the book will be available on March 20th. We are still targeting a September-October timeframe for the 2015 CISSP Review Course. This will allow sufficient time to prepare new curriculum based on the revised CBK.
