Title: Security+ Training Guide by Todd King, David Bittlingmeier ISBN: 0789728362 Publisher: Que Pub. Date: 27 March, 2003 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $49.99 |
Average Customer Rating: 3
Rating: 2
Summary: Falls Short
Comment: The author knows his stuff. He explains most of the topics in a clear manner. However, this book will not adequately prepare you to pass the exam. To pass, start out with "Mastering Network Security" by Chris Brenton. Then supplement it with one of the other Security+ exam guides from your public library. Don't waste your money on this one.
Rating: 4
Summary: Coupled with the EC2 book & you have a good set of tools.
Comment: Network Security is becoming the most sought after position in the IT world these days, yet in order to get these jobs you need to be certified. There are over 20 possible security certifications so where do you start?
How do you determine which exam to take and which certification is right for you? Well you might want to start with the CompTIA Security+ vendor neutral certification. Now all you need is the right study material and that is where this book comes in.
With over 600 pages of material covering every exam objective this book has good coverage of the material. I think that certain areas such as PKI management could be expanded just a bit.
Also the practice questions were close to the actual exam, and I think that more should be added. The author certainly has an excellent understanding of the material and evident throughout the book.
With the ever changing world of Security, this book should have regular updates, either via the web or a new edition of the book. Also included is a Prep Logic cd, while Prep Logic does produce a high quality product this is not the full version of the product. Although for the money it should have been included.
Overall this book is a useful tool outside the exam and you stand a decent chance of passing the exam. Couple this book with the Exam Cram2 Security+ and you have a better chance.
