Review
"The computer and network security field continues to grow as more devices are becoming interconnected. The Security+ certification verifies knowledge of the six major security domains. Ido Dubrawsky and his team provide an excellent guide for passing the exam that serves equally well as a reference after certification." -James Broad, Security Consultant, Security+ and CISSP
Product Description
Dubrawsky's third edition of the CompTIA Security+ 2008 Study Guide Prep Kit provides readers with an all-inclusive toolkit filled with material needed to pass the new CompTIA Security+ certification exam. It is keyed to the new SYO 201 exam.
It is designed to complement the official CompTIA Security+ curiculum. CompTIA routinely offers candidates the opportunity to certify in Security+ and recently annoucned the release of an update to their Security+ exam in the fourth quarter of 2008. Our new edition will cover all the new exam objectives in addition to the core material featured on the test. The new exam covers six major objectives, or topics: Systems Security, Network Infrastructure, Access Control, Assessments and Audits, Cryptography, and Organizational Security. Note that as of July 1, 2009 the last version of the test, to which our current edition is targeted, will be officially retired.
OUr prep kit provides a full set of tools for exam-prep, including a web- and DVD-based exa engine and practice exams, flash cards, cram sheets, PowerPoing presentations, MP3s, and an e-book, for the edge needed to successfully take and pass the Security+ certification. All six of the Security+ domains are covered in detail and questions at the end of each chapter are designed to test the candidates' understanding and recall of the material. In addition to new test-takers, these materials will also be helpful to those who seek to recertify by tkaing either the full, revised exam or a special 'bridge' exam.
*Complete exam-prep package includes full coverage of new Security+ objectives, flash cards, cram sheets, MP3s for exam-day study, PPT presentations, two complete practice exams, and certifcation e-book library.
*Authored by a leading Microsoft security expert.
*A good reference for both beginning security professionals and a seasoned IT person, this book goes beyond the exam objectives to cover the technology, and how that technology is currently being deployed in the business world and what the future of the technology may be. These insights provide the reader a look "inside" security, both today and in the future.

Excellent Study Guide! Very clear and direct
15 Aug 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
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.

Good restudy guide, but does NOT include advertised materials.
21 Sep 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
The description specifically says:
*Complete exam-prep package includes full coverage of new Security+ objectives, flash cards, cram sheets, MP3s for exam-day study, PPT presentations, two complete practice exams, and certification e-book library.
HOWEVER, no such prep kit is included. This was a buying point for me. The guide itself seems in good order and the practice quizzes' and exams will help, but I specifically picked this book over others due to the advertised additional materials. I give it a low rating due to inaccurate advertising on materials which lead you to believe you are getting a complete study package, which are NOT included.

Ho-hum..

Very terse book, hard to read for any length of time, very dry. This book was one of several I purchased in prep for the Security+ exam - and I found it to be my least favorite.
