http://www.trafficstatistic.com/news Aggregated Newsfeed of the MZL & Novatech Traffic & Bandwidth Statistics Site en http://www.trafficstatistic.com/news/news_item_1352.html uCertify (May 16, 2008) Professionals willing to get certified with CISSP (Certified Information Systems Security Professional) can purchase the CISSP PrepKit from uCertify, one of the largest premier organizations in IT Certification preparation solutions. The CISSP PrepKit is slated to be released on May 19, 2008. It is a cost effective and an easy approach towards the preparation for this Information Security exam. "IT professionals having security expertise are much in demand these days, and CISSP is the only way by which their expertise can be verified. It is one of the key certifications for security professionals. uCertify's CISSP PrepKit gives the flexibility and affordability you need to prepare for this exam," said David Jackson, Director of Product Management, uCertify. The CISSP certification exam is based on CBK, i.e., Common body of Knowledge, which is divided into ten domains, namely Security Management Practices, Access Control Systems, Telecommunications and Network Security, Cryptography, Security Architecture and Models, etc. The PrepKit is bundled with four interactive practice tests with over 280 challenging questions that comprehensively cover all objectives for the CISSP exam. You will find high quality questions and various study resources, such as 132 quiz questions and 100 study notes, including technical articles, how to's, study tips, etc. Erik Lane, a software developer, remarked, "The quiz feature is the strongest feature of the program. You can select the number of questions from each focus area and then take the quiz. One nice touch is that after you answer the question, the timer goes directly to 5 secs, and then goes to the next question. That's enough time to see your answer but yet you don't have to take your hands off of the keyboard to go to the next question." He further added, "My study style will still be to write code and use technical books and study guides to ensure I know how to do the tasks that are covered in the exam. I certainly would use uCertify for their quizzes and test simulations as I get closer to taking the exam. I think that's a good strategy and for $60 it's a good deal as well."
