Why Trust This System
24 Years in the Field.
Built by Someone Who Failed First.
I'm Shon Gerber — former Commander of the 177th Information Aggressor Squadron, former CISO, and Fractional CISO serving healthcare and financial clients. I've spent 24 years in cybersecurity.
And I failed the CISSP the first time.
That failure became the foundation of this system. I built the exact study framework I wish I'd had — and it has helped hundreds of cybersecurity professionals get certified and advance their careers. This free package is where every student starts.
Gave me the deadline I needed…
"The 8 week sprint cohort was exactly what I needed to help me get over the 'I will take it someday soon' rut I was in. The cohort gave me a test deadline, weekly encouragement and review, and helped me figure out my weak areas before going to take the exam and passing."
— Jay K., Data Privacy and Security Manager
A fraction of the cost of $10K bootcamps
"This training is a great cost savings and a much better value than those week-long cram sessions that cost so much. The CPE Insider on the back end just adds to the already fantastic value."
— Clifton Helpingstine
Passed the CISSP Exam on the first try!
"…the podcast contributed to my preparedness! Your words helped me think analytically for the exam!"
— Joe S., Cyber Security Specialist
Guidance was invaluable…
"Shon Gerber, your guidance was invaluable throughout the CISSP study/certification process. Thank you for breaking the monotony!"
— Kristopher Wagstaff
Not just the how, but the why
"I could totally fall asleep while reading the official study guide by myself. This cohort provided the necessary study guidance and helped cement a lot of the concepts that can seem really foreign if you don't do it every day."
— Rey Brian Glean
Ready to Fast-Track It?
You Don't Have to Do This Alone — or Slow.
