CompTIA Security+ Certification Guide Master IT security essentials and exam topics for CompTIA Security+ SY0501 certification Ian Neil 9781789348019 Books Reviews

• I recommend this book to any person looking to pass the security plus exam I read the book in a couple of days took the test and passed the next week. I didn't understand the concepts of the course objectives at first but this book helped me understand the difficult topics with ease. Ian goes into the specifics in his book and corresponds a topic to a real world scenario that is easier to understand. I feel other resources fail to do this and that's the difference between this book and other books. This book helped me understand how PKI really works, starting from the architecture of a CA to the different certificate types and more. If you want to pass the security plus test in the most effcicent way possible then you need to read this book!
• I bought this book because a different one hadn't enabled me to pass the test. This book is set up differently, which is fine, is obviously written by a Brit, which, apart from a few semantic differences, is also fine, and has some mock tests, which are helpful.
  But most of the time, when reviewing material, I simply can't find terms in the index.
  For instance, Password Salting isn't referenced under password or Salting. RAM isn't listed under Memory or RAM. RRSIG isn't referenced anywhere. And all of these terms are on the first mock exam! I'm literally having to Google things on my phone that the book contains, but to which it has no usable reference.
• I was able to pass my security+ exam with this book. its easy to follow and to the point. Ian really hit it out the park with this one!
• I seem to retain the info in here more so than a couple of the video instructions I was following. Although I was able to dedicate less distracted time too it (coffee shop instead of at work with videos)
  
  Seems to be well organized, and easier to grasp with a good amount of practice questions at the end of each chapter to help integrate the information a little better...
• This is an EXCELLENT book to get you prepared for the Security plus exam. I took the exam a total of 3 times and before taking the exam this last time I read the book from front to back and it helped me understand the material a lot more in depth. Ian breaks down the content throughout the book that will help you understand the material very easy. I recommend anyone trying to pass the exam get the book. People in the reviews say there are a lot of grammatical errors throughout the book but that is false. So don’t believe those people that have the book a bad rating. Thanks Ian for the help inside of the book to help me get certified.
• Enjoy learning from this book. I purchase this for my exam CompiTa exam.
• The information in the book is useful but there are so many typos and sentences that don't make sense that I have to re-read many times to understand what I read. Could have used an editor.
• The book is littered with typos and boldfaced errors, organized poorly, and written inelegantly. This cheap trash might help you pass the exam, but will make studying for it unnecessarily painful. Do yourself a favor and find a different study book written by an author who’s not too cheap to hire a copy editor.
