Product Description

Product Description
Why has CompTIA (the high-profile Computer Technology Industry Association behind the wildly popular A+ and Network+ certifications) targeted security for its latest credential?
Thanks to soaring e-business initiatives and worldwide Internet connectivity, recent survey stats from the Computer Security Institute (CSI) show we need more network security specialists-fast!
Boasting a one-of-a-kind integration of text, DVD-quality instructor-led training, and Web-based exam simulation and remediation, Security+ Study Guide & DVD Training System gives students 100% coverage of official CompTIA Security+ exam objectives plus realistic test prep.
Security+ is sure to become an instant industry standard. Leading cert industry publications and Web portals forecast the rapid rise of security certifications in 2003, and CompTIA's growth curve of A+ and Network+ technicians suggests that Security+ certified engineers could easily number 100,000 by the end of next year

The first Security+ study resource to market, Security+ Study Guide & DVD Training System bundles all 3 of these teaching technologies to give Security+ candidates the edge they need to pass this career-boosting new exam-and achieve certification-on their very first try.
Syngress has become a leader in IT certification-blending innovative teaching methodologies with such groundbreaking tools as exam simulators, instructor-led DVDs, and integrated Web-based support.

3.0 out of 5 stars I'll say that again, 7 Oct 2003

By	Mr. G. H. Khan (London) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

To be fair the book is not bad, it has a good coverage of the topics in the Security+ exam. It goes into enough detail to get you through the exam.

I will say that the questions and answers in the book are a little suspect, and leads me to believe they skimped on the proof reading, which is always dangerous, especially when you consider the exam is �200 a pop.

It tends to be really repetitive. Too much so.

Further, the DVD is the stuff that makes decent IT trainers cringe. It appears to show a trainer teaching a class. The trainer on the DVD is truely awful. He is a better author than a trainer. He appears nervous, lacks confidence and too often just reads the slides.

If you buy the book and just ignore the DVD trainer its not bad.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good coverage but not enough practice questions, 26 May 2003

By	Cyber (U.K.) - See all my reviews

This books covers all the objectives of exam but as far as questions are concerned there could have been more. Even the ones available online just give you a rough idea. I did use other practice questions. The DVD is very short and it explained only some of the key concepts while the others were barely mentioned.
A online edition of the book would have been nice. All in all a pretty decent book and I did get my concepts clear. (Also I passed my exam)

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book....but too much theory and not enough practise, 14 Mar 2006

By	Jma Pinero-rey "jose_pinero" (Ely) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I found this book very good to read and also very fascinating but I felt there was alot of theory and not enough practise. In all fairness it does give you the name of certain tools which you can use but to complete the book, some exercises would have been good to enhance your knowledge. Otherwise it is a good book and worth having in your IT/Security book collection.

4.0 out of 5 stars A very clear, concise book.
I used this book to summarise what I had learned through CBT study. I found it useful to emphasise the key points and the review and exam questions are definitely worth doing. Read more
