“Despite holding my CISSP certification, I noticed that the CISM exam places a stronger emphasis on incident response, a topic I didn’t extensively encounter during my CISSP studies. However, after going through this book, I found it to be an invaluable resource for exam preparation. I especially appreciated the “blended learning approach” of reading the lesson and then tackling practice exam questions. The book thoroughly covers all relevant domains.”
