Hence, the eight security domains are aligned in a logical order so as to cover the concepts in the most appropriate sequence in this guide. Each chapter provides an illustration in the form of a flow diagram at the start to supply an overall view of the concepts covered in that chapter. This will facilitate a bird's-eye view of the chapter contents and the core security concepts covered. You can refer to this book throughout while preparing for the test or most importantly systematically revise the eight domains on a day-by-day basis up to one month before the exam. Hence the chapters are divided into 21 convenient days.
