Scott Jensen · May 2025

I started listening to this podcast about a month after I begin studying for the CISSP exam. Shon covers every domain for the certification in these podcasts. I listened to these podcasts for two months on my daily commute, and they definitely helped to solidify my knowledge. I passed the exam a couple of days ago at the 100 question mark. Great material here and a great teacher! Highly recommend!
