John Wiley & Sons, Inc. (“Wiley”) is partnering with (ISC)²®,
the largest not-for-profit membership body of certified information and
software security professionals with nearly 110,000 members worldwide,
to bring to market a variety of new learning products and services,
beginning with a series of official, (ISC)²-approved and co-branded
Sybex study guides and products for the growing information security
market.
“Wiley is pleased to be working with (ISC)² on content solutions for
candidates,” said Wiley Vice President Professional Technology Strategy
Barry Pruett. “Given the increasing importance of information and
software security, the (ISC)² certification is vitally important in our
digital world. Providing learning solutions to (ISC)² members and
certification candidates quickly and effectively is a key priority for
both our organizations.”
“We are excited about our partnership with Wiley,” said (ISC)² Director
of Training and Education Dr. Rae Hayward, HCISPP. “Wiley is a
well-known international organization that provides educational content
in various consumable solutions. Our partnership will help us enrich our
certification product portfolio in a more efficient and effective
manner, as well as expand our educational product offerings. Overall, it
enhances (ISC)²’s value to its members, academia and industry
professionals globally.”

During the second half of 2015, Wiley will release the latest official
guides for the (ISC)² Common Body of Knowledge (CBK®). The
(ISC)² CBK is a taxonomy – a collection of topics relevant to
information security professionals around the world. It establishes a
common framework of information security terms and principles, which
allow information security professionals worldwide to discuss, debate
and resolve matters pertaining to the profession with a common
understanding.
“Developing a partnership with renowned content provider Wiley will
allow (ISC)² to grow its offerings on the scale required to keep our
content and delivery fresh and aligned with the constantly changing
environment that is information security today,” said (ISC)² CEO David
Shearer, CISSP, PMP. “This positive change is part of a concerted effort
to enhance and increase our education and training offerings. I am
pleased that with Wiley, we will begin offering more concise study
guides, in addition to our current official guides to the CBK, as an
extra study tool for (ISC)² certification exam candidates. The power of
combining the expertise of our two organizations benefits candidates and
the industry alike.”
The Sybex and (ISC)² official study guides will be available for
purchase online and at retailers worldwide in both print and all e-book
formats. To request a review copy or author interview, contact Chantal
