One of the problems of certificates such as CCZT and CCSK is that their bodies of knowledge have very few realistic examples in them. There are understandable reasons for that.

But you'll study better with examples. Of course, you want to relate this to your own work environment, but it is not always easy to carve out a nice example. That is one of the things that we will work on too.

I find the book "Project Zero Trust" by George Finney a very good addition to this course. It is a 'business novel' in the spirit of 'The Phoenix Project' and 'The Goal', if you know those.

I strongly recommend that you buy or borrow this book and start reading it at your earliest convenience. It is fairly light reading, but very illustrative.

The book repeats some of the theory of CCZT. Note that the exam will adhere to the study guide and not this book.
