The better question to ask is which books, PDFs, & online courses would teach you what you need to know to pass GISF test. Which I doubt if anyone on this mailing list could answer with a high degree of certainty. Having self-studied for various certs: A+, CCNA, MCSE to name a few I can tell you that books + braindumps always worked for me. I never paid for 1 certification training course. If you don't know what braindumps are just Google "GISF or GIAC braindump". It used to be that test takers would share questions, topics, notes o and otherwise breakdown the cert test so other people would know what material to focus on. They used to be freely shared. Not sure if that's the case these days. If you search for GISF/GIAC books on Amazon, they'll likely have reviews on how well the book prepares someone for the test. Other possibly useful resources: SANS Cyber Aces is SANS’ philanthropic initiative to help individuals discover and develop skills and careers in cybersecurity. SANS donates free, online courses that teach the fundamentals of cybersecurity to program participants, organizes state-wide competitions, and helps connect participants to employers. http://cyberaces.org/courses/ If you've a Mult. County Library card you can access Lynda.com freely. I haven't tried it yet, but that might have some cybersecurity training: https://multcolib.org/resource/lyndacom EDx has a free online Cybersecurity Fundamentals course that started on May 23rd. https://www.edx.org/course/cybersecurity-fundamentals-ritx-cyber501x-0 Hopefully, that helps point you in the general direction.
