  • I am Darian Dunn, CISSP, CISA, CRISC. I received my CISSP in 2001. For me, most of this is easy, soft information which I already know. The badging information was new, interesting, fun. I needed free CPEs. If you have your CISSP, listen and get your free CPEs. If you don't have your CISSP and are not deep into Cyber Security, I recommend listening to the program. This seems like a good program to cover a lot of ground. It is a starting point. You can google to go deep.
