The CC body of knowledge (which is also tested on the exam) covers five domains as follows: 

• Domain 1 - Security Principles (~26%)

• Domain 2 - Incident Response, Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Concepts (~10%)

• Domain 3 - Concepts of Access Control (~22%)

• Domain 4 - Network Security (~24%)

• Domain 5 - Security Operations (~18%)

In addition, you may find some advanced questions on the exam that are not adequately covered in the official (ISC)² CC material. We've got you covered! Our exams include such advanced questions along with detailed answers that explain the concepts.

The difficulty of the Certified in Cybersecurity (CC) exam depends on your background, experience and preparation. Those with a strong foundation in IT and computer networking may find it more accessible, while newcomers may need more time to study. 

After training with our practice exams, you will have a clearer idea of the overall difficulty and which specific topics are more challenging for you. Our exams provide comprehensive explanations that will help you overcome your difficulties. Understanding the basic concepts can greatly increase your chances of success.

The best way to assess your preparedness is to practice real exams. Our students consistently report being able to take the official (ISC)² CC Exam after taking our practice exams.

At the end of each practice exam, you will get a detailed breakdown report of your performance for each domain and topic, as well as detailed explanations of each question.

The student needs to get 70% to pass.

The exam has 100 questions and must be completed in two hours.

This certification is for anyone who wants to build a rewarding career in cybersecurity.  The ISC2 Certified in Cybersecurity credential can provide you with a recognized credential that demonstrates your foundational cybersecurity knowledge and skills. Certified professionals often earn higher salaries than those without certifications.

Udemy is a leading online learning platform offering a diverse range of courses at various levels of difficulty. The platform supports interactive exams, which is particularly beneficial for subjects requiring frequent practice and testing, such as computer languages and, in our case, cybersecurity.

We have used the platform ourselves before and have found it to be an effective training tool. Therefore, and since it also offers features to engage and support student communities, it was an obvious choice for us.
