To pass, you obviously need to have the knowledge for the CISM certification exam, but it is much more than that. The CISM exam is 4 hours long and has 150 multiple choice questions. Most people studying for the CISM certification will use multiple books, video courses, and do a lot of practice questions before taking the exam; this really is the path to success. All the code and supporting files for this course are available at

Style and ApproachThe author shows you how to answer questions from ISACA’s point of view. You need to be able to spot keywords (PKI, policy, asymmetric, BCP) and indicators (first, best, last, least, most). You’ll understand and answer every question from an IT Security Manager or a Risk Adviser point of view, not as an executive or techie.
