Study resources for ISC2's CC exam

2023-11-23 11:39:00

In the summer of 2022, ISC2 introduced what was then called their ELCC exam. These days it's just "CC": Certified in CyberSecurity. At the time I concluded that ISC2's CC is a decent curriculum and exam, for people who need foundational understanding of enterprise-level cybersecurity. 

In October of 2022 and 2023 I ran in-house "study challenges" for my customer, with 10-20 people attempting to pass the CC exam within the one CyberSecurity Awareness Month (CSAM). When we started, all there was to study were the free video trainings from ISC2. 

Since then, new and much better resources have become available!

• Thor Pederson is a well-respected trainer. He has a good video training on Udemy.
• Thor also has a set of practice questions, to prep for the exam.
• If you have an OReilly Online subscription, you can access Omar Santos' video training.
• If you have a LinkedIn Learning subscription, you can access Mike Chapple's video training.
• CertMike offers ready-made summaries of all materials.
• Mike Chapple has written an actual book! Available physically or digital.
• McGraw-Hill also added an ISC2 CC book to their AIO-series.
• Udemy has a set of six practice exams.

Remember to never pay full price on Udemy! They run huge discounts very regularly.
