Preparation for the Certified Implementation Specialist - Security Incident Response CIS-SIR exam

[Philip Owen]

Afternoon all....

I am deep diving into the Certified Implementation Specialist - Security Incident Response CIS-SIR exam. I'd be grateful for any pointers and advise in terms of what online resources to use. I have the Mainline Exam Blueprint, I have listened to the My Failure Story which has some good tips, I have access to resources such as like Pass4Future. 

I have about 100 or so mock questions that I cross reference, I am again going to over the SIR Implementation course again and looking in the Participation guide for anything that's highlighted in BOLD and will do the labs again. 

What am I missing? this is my approach for all the exams that I will aim to do.

If you have any additional advice that would be much appreciated.

Hello @Philip Owen 

You are all set. If you aim to score 100% you can also look for current release changes with respect to the module exam you are giving. 

As the time you give exam about 4-5 questions are added in CIS which references it's modifications made in current or previous release. 

Rest PYQs and mocks should help out more than enough. 

Kindly mark my answer as helpful and accept solution if it helped you in anyway. This will help me be recognized for the efforts and also move this questions from unsolved to solved bucket.

Thanks Shivalika,

I have noticed that the CIS-SIR is heavy around inbound actions, flow designer and playbooks, some generally easy questions. 

The labs are quite good in going through some of the process lifecycle, tag configurations, phishing configuration etc 

I am getting around 80% on the mock tests that I am doing but you can't guarantee that you will have those same questions in the exam. 

If anyone has any other tips or advise then please don't be shy.
