I began to receive requests for Security Fundamentals Professional Certification (SFPC) test preparation and thus began developing this study guide. My wish for you is the best of success as you use this guide to augment your studies. Be sure to dive right in with the practice questions. You will probably get a lot of answers wrong at first, but that should be expected; keep going. Review these questions time and again. Switch the order over and over. Set a clock and go through the questions, giving yourself no more than 1 minute per question. Then reduce that time. Train the way you will test, so that when test day comes, you will be prepared.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this book, you will see that I attempt to demonstrate the importance of not only becoming certified, but leveraging the prep time as well as the final certification to become more effective at your important task of developing security programs to protect classified information. You are already beginning the important process as you build networks, obtain professional and academic education, and find mentors. Credibility is the key to influence and learning from others in the industry helps you build confidence in your decisions and capabilities.

When I finally took the time to sit down and read it, I was surprised at just how much information it contains. The book tells you how to prepare, to include learning all security disciplines, how to manage your time, and how to study the NISPOM.
