CompTIA Security+Study Guide: Exam SY0-201 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The book is built on a clean language, the ideas are well organized inside each chapter, but you could perceive that chapters themselves are not in the optimal order...Sometimes you have to jump from one chapter to another to cover completely an idea exposed in this book.
On the other hand, you will have to buy additional simulations and practice questions to complete your preparation, because this book does not offer you practice questions with the appropiate level of complexity compared to the real exam.

CompTIA Security+ Certification Study Guide, Third Edition: Exam SY0-201 3E Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The book came quickly and was in great shape!
I own two other books on the Security+ exam,( Sybex's CompTIA Security+ Review Guide: SY0-201 and CompTIA Security+ Exam Cram (1st Edition)) This one from Syngress is clearly the better study guide! Loved the chapter on virtual technology. They cover the exam completely and in some areas they give more than scope of the exam.
I'm very impressed with the way exam objectives are clearly outlined and detailed to the CompTIA way of doing things. It's one thing to know IT security, but for the exam you also need to know how the CompTIA exam author(s) think. If your looking for a quick easy study guide to pass the Security+ exam I think this is one of the best books to pick-up.

CompTIA's Security+ certification is a globally-recognized, vendor neutral exam that has helped over 60,000 IT professionals reach further and higher in their careers. The current Security+ exam (SY0-201) focuses more on being able to deal with security issues rather than just identifying them.



The new exam covers six major topics: Systems Security, Network Infrastructure, Access Control, Assessments and Audits, Cryptography, and Organizational Security.

This third edition has been updated to follow and cover the new exam objectives. After reading this book not only will you be able to pass the exam but you will have a working knowledge of cryptography, security legislation, vulnerability assessments, logical access control methods, and much more.

CompTIA Security+ Deluxe Study Guide: SY0-201 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this book 3 weeks before I sat for the exam. The book content, flash cards and 4 practice exams were just the right balance to pass the exam. I would recommend this book to anyone needing/wanting to get the Security+ certification.

CompTIA Security+ SY0-201 Practice Questions Exam Cram (2nd Edition) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I accidently reviewed the previous version of the book when what I bought was this one...
I generally like the Exam Cram series, but this one disappoints.
The book itself is not too bad, but the software has some major issues! It will tell you that you got a question wrong and then in the explaination tell you that your answer was right. So IF you are going to use it at all, use the software in "Practice Mode" and check your answer against the text not and just the highlighted "correct" answer. For example, one question asked (paraphrased): In a decentralized anti-virus setup who is responsible for updating the client? Answers were: A central server, the user, the vendor, the manager. I chose the user and was told it was wrong according to the scoring and according to the highlighting the correct answer is the vendor. The explanation said that a central server isn't used in a decentralized setup, and the manager isn't responsible. It went on says that the vendor is "NEVER reponsible" for the client, and that the user will be responsible for keeping the software up to date. I've gone through about 250 questions out of 800 and there are numerous of these like this... To the point that I no longer trust the product and have purchased a simulation from a reputable online vendor.
