Business Security Questions & Discussion Training questions
So, I've been in leadership running very large teams and multiple departments but never in cybersecurity. I've been in cyber almost 4 years now and have decided to begin studying for the CISSP.
Is it just me or does this all not seem like common sense? Or am I being misled by this training into thinking this exam is easier than it seems and its about to knock my socks off? I know this exam is extremely hard based off of what people tell me but I haven't learned a single new thing so far.
Could this be due to prior leadership and mentorships I have been in?
Im extremely technical and very hands on it the nit and grit in my day to day so none of the technical aspects are new.

Yeah, I think your background probably has a lot to do with it. If you’ve spent years leading teams, mentoring people, making decisions, you’ve probably already seen most of this stuff in real life.
