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.

There is no way anyone could give this book 5 stars. Dont fall into this trap. The 5 star reviews are from people close to the author. Dont waste your money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Authors are in fact S+ certified Mar 5 2004
By Tony
Format:Hardcover
To the reviewer who said that the author(s) are not Security+ certified: I am one of the authors on this book and am in fact Security+ certified, as I believe all of us are. However, this did not make it into the book at the time the bios were printed.

I find it hard to believe that a book that has been out for over 2 years doesn't have some type of update. After reading the first chapter and going through the self test questions I was disappointed. Figures were out of place in the appendix, and 2/20 questions were ambiguous at best. Also, I guess next time I get a cert book, I will make sure at least one of the authors or technical editors has that certification. Yeah, they have higher level certs but I believe anyone interested in writing a good/great cert book would at least have that certification themselves.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nothing Wrong Here!
Make sure you have Network+ covered and some idea of disater recovery, backups etc. Read this cover to cover three times and the exam is yours.
