The Security+ Exam Guide provides exam candidates with the concepts, objectives, and test-taking skills needed to pass on their first attempt. Instead of covering every computer security topic, this book isolates those topics most likely to be addressed on the exam. In addition, the companion CD-ROM contains original practice exams created exclusively for the book. Each interactive, timed test features a review to identify areas that need improvement. Written by an experienced network administrator and CompTIA certified instructor, the book draws upon subject expertise and teaching experience to provide everything test takers need to know for successful test-taking.

This book was not enough for me. This book offers a basic overview of security and does not prepare for the exam. I wish I had used an additional source for the exam.

These other guys wo gave it 5 stars must be smoking something funny.



I think Crayton forgot to include actual information that was relevant to the exam.

The book was a GOOD OVERVIEW of basic securtiy, but it lacked the breadth of information needed to pass the exam.

The sample exams in the at the end of the chapters and on the CD-Rom don't even come close to preparing you for the exam.

Shouldn't followed my heart on a stude guide and gone with Syngress.



PLEASE!!! PLEASE!!!! DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY WITH THIS ONE.

He doesn't deserver to get paid for writing this guide.

After reading this book and completing the Security+ exam, I found out that some material on the test was not covered in the book. While most was, there was also additional information that was not listed as objectives for the Security+ exam.

I would recommend this book to learn more about the Security principles, however to complete the exam do not use just this book. I would also recommend the ExamCram as required reading prior to taking the test.

Just past the Security+ test with this guidebook. IT was a great investment and well worth the money compared with the other higher priced books. The information regarding secure ports, protocols and network infrastructure security was on for the test. However, I do have several years of network security experience and do not recommend that anyone take this test without some hands on and class work. I highly advice purchasing this book if you are going to take the test...

This book helped me to pass the Security+ test on the first try. The concepts and questions in this book were so close to the ones on the exam it wasn't funny. The authors of this book really know their stuff and have obviously put it into writing.

This book is highly recommended for people who want to really pass the test. If you don't have much experience with network security, you should at least take a course before taking this exam
