Frequently Asked

Questions, Answered

How long does it take to study for the CISSP exam?+
Most candidates spend 3–6 months studying, averaging 10–15 hours per week. With a structured plan covering all 8 domains and consistent practice questions, many pass in 3 months. Our guides help you build a custom schedule based on your existing experience level.
Do small businesses really need a formal cybersecurity program?+
Yes — 43% of cyberattacks target small businesses, and most lack even basic controls. You don't need a full CISO or large budget. Our SMB playbooks help you implement the highest-impact controls first, often for free or very low cost.
What's the difference between CISSP and CompTIA Security+?+
Security+ is an entry-level certification ideal for those starting in IT security. CISSP is an advanced credential for experienced professionals, requiring 5 years of paid work experience and covering 8 comprehensive domains. Security+ is often the stepping stone to CISSP.
Are the Threatnexis resources actually free?+
Most of our content — articles, study guides, checklists, and the weekly threat brief — is completely free. We offer a small selection of premium toolkits for those who want more comprehensive templates and resources. We are affiliate-supported, which means some links may earn us a small commission at no extra cost to you.
