dyonpoint:
I am interested in writing this exam by September too, how do I go about registering and preparing for the exam and also can any one assist with the current CISA Manual and prep materials for me to start preparing ASAP.

NB: hope all the registration and payment can be done online and where is the ISACA Lagos chapter located? Thanks

Hi, I'm interested in the materials. I've sent you a pm.
Thanks.

I have always had this question to ask regarding this certification.

is cisa peculiar to just IT guys alone (security), because I know auditors who also take CISA exams.

Does the certification include both Financial Auditors and IT security pros?

ashiwajew:
Well done for comments so far. Please i am thinking of writing this exam and i already have the review manual and past questions but i still feel i need to attend the training. Please which is better in Rhytex and AJ Silicon seems the latter is more expensive though

Hello Friends

I am planning to write CISA this December,

I believe I have enough time to prepare for it.

However, I need assistance from guru here on how to go about it.

Or if possible, lets form a studying group for those interested.

Opinion on materials and tutorial is needed.

Thanks in advance

engrrichie92:


look for a sound and reputable training institute
You will get all you need to ace the exam

I recommend RYTHEX CONSULTING, they are really good

engrrichie92:


Your none IT background dosent mean much
IT is an open playing field for all ...if you ready to give it the hard work it takes

For Information Security with no IT background
I would advice you take it from ground up
first Comptia A+ takes you from scratch...understanding OS, BIOS, and computer systems in general

from there you can move to Comptia S+ ...teaches you the rudiments of security

Then you want to move to CEH (Ethical Hacking) ...then some courses on Vulnerability scanning and Penetration Testing

from there ...you can proceed to doing CISA, CISM, CISSP ..these are the management courses in security

there are other courses here and there...the more you know, the more you want to know and there are tons of resources online you can use

I did CISA first because I have a bit of IT background and just want to switch to IS field
right now, on the fundamentals (those courses I mentioned up there)
And looking at being a CISSP before the year runs out

information security professionals are scarce and needed everywhere..
So your move is a good one bro...

Hi For all those sitting for the exams ...feel free to ask questions here ....for areas you feel unsure about...or that you find confusing...we would do our best wit the limited knowledge we have to answer...let all the experienced auditor in the House stand up ...

Jintata:


How far with the cissp exam?

engrrichie92:


S+, N+, should write CEH exam next month(my journey thus far)

And immediately start my CISSP training with rythex
Won't be easy but I hope to take it before the year runs out

soho2911:
r u saying u wrote s+, n+ this year and you r planning for CEH? baba calm down na!!


Planning for CISSP this august...

engrrichie92:

Lol
.....the truth is some certs don't have market value and are not well recognized(my opinion) and for such, just keep and retain the knowledge(again my opinion) ..., if you have the time and the spare cash, go for it..

engrrichie92:

Hopefully, that would be my end of the year gift to myself as I hope to take it by Nov/Dec

@soho2911...hopefully When you write and pass next month...you will be able to mentor me well

Bro please i need help, just wanna begin my CISA journey..i've been studying tho...please can you help with the Step 1 -- Step End..including costs?...thanks..will be so so grateful... you can contact me 07038115771 whatsapp/call/sms or email: tolu.adebisi@gmail.com

I'm so sorry guys..I got robbed..why wouldn't I wanna share?..I was successful.
In the spirit of sharing..overall score was 663
Domain1 762
2. 610
3. 678
4. 572
5. 678

Did I leave out any details?

engrrichie92:

Lol

Yes and No...sir

Well, I completed S + and N+ courses respectively on Cybrary.it
Very detailed and comprehensive...but I chose not to write the exam but I can boldly say I learnt a whole lot from the courses (and 85% sure I will pass the exams if I decide to write it, I doubt if I will though)..the truth is some certs don't have market value and are not well recognized(my opinion) and for such, just keep and retain the knowledge(again my opinion) ..., if you have the time and the spare cash, go for it..

The two main exams for me this year are CEH and CISSP ...
Paid for CEH and studying at the moment for the exam (self study)...hopefully next month, I will write it and
Immediately kick off training with Rythex (CISSP training starts next month) and can't afford to self study

Hopefully, that would be my end of the year gift to myself as I hope to take it by Nov/Dec

@soho2911...hopefully When you write and pass next month...you will be able to mentor me well
Do you have the required 5 years experience to sit for the CISSP? I have S+ and CEH. Thinking of doing CCNA next

engrrichie92:

No I don't, I'm tending towards my 3 years but dosent stop me from doing the exam if I want to...
I will just be an associate of (ISC)¤2 designation and in two years time apply for the cert

But for me, I'm a CISSP as soon as I conquer that tedious exam(I might swap this for CHFI this year)

Meanwhile, come mentor me on CEH please...i still have a lot to cover coupled with work
Help me sir

Moreso, why CCNA...one would have thought you have gone pass the rudiments with your S+ and CEH
And would be looking towards more Practical security related courses...are you a CISA by the way?
