 Provides everything needed for the right candidateMar 17, 2009
By Tom Carpenter
"- www.sysedco.com"
According to CompTIA's website, while not a prerequisite, they recommend that an individual sitting the Security+ exam have "at least two years of on-the-job technical networking experience, with an emphasis on security." They further recommend having the Network+ certification. My review of this book is based on an assumption that the individual using this book either meets these recommendations or, through some other means, has equivalent knowledge and experience.
As the author of an eLearning program that helps prepare people for the Security+ exam, I have considered the Security+ 2008 objectives more than most. This book covers everything you need to know to pass the Security+ exam - assuming you have the fundamentals of networking down. As an example, on page 15 (very early in the book) the authors assume you know what a port is when they say, "A network administrator can, for instance, move a service from its default port to a different port..." There is no explanation as to what a "port" is and, according to CompTIA's recommendations, there need not be.
I've given this as a simple example, but the book is filled with assumptions. It's probably a good thing. The book is nearly 700 pages now; imagine how large it would be if all of the knowledge were provided in this single resource. If you don't meet the recommendations that CompTIA suggests, I would encourage you to get this book along with your choice of a Network+ study guide. Then, even if you don't wish to acquire the Network+ certification, you will have the knowledge you need for the assumed information in this book.
I particularly liked the organization of this book. Part I deals with the theory of security (principles, organizational requirements, legal issues, etc.) and provides a foundation for the rest of the book. Part II deals with confidentiality in quite a bit more depth than is required by the Security+ exam. The coverage is closer to that needed for the CISSP exam. The next two parts, Security in the Infrastructure and Security in Transmission address the security needs for network access, data access and data transfer. The final part, excluding the Appendices, is Part V; here, issues related to operational and administrative security are addressed.
Overall, the information is presented in a sequence that makes it both digestible and memorable. I have to say that, in my opinion, this is the best Security+ book to come along yet.

 Decent book, but not enough by itselfMar 13, 2009
By R.S.
"R.S."
Just passed the Security + 2008 exam with an 830. Used the book, plus Transcender and TestKing (2007 version) to prepare. I also used selective chapters from the Shon Harris CISSP book. Have to admit the test was a little harder than I anticipated. If you are a novice to Networks and System Administration, I highly recommend reading the CISSP book. It covers all the material, plus more. This book was a good book, but not enough by itself to adequately prepare for the 2008 Security + exam.

Great Review Guide for Studying for the Exam!Oct 04, 2009
By Deborah Mahler
"spiritbeing"
This is a great study guide for reviewing before taking the CompTIA Security+ exam.
I say a review because it assumes you know certain things first. For example, it assumes you know about networking, computers, and security in general. This book is not for the novice who doesn't know anything about PC security or networking and hopes to pass the exam.
The tips about what you should pay exact attention to are very valuable. There was a discussion early on in the book about security basics that I was just breezing through and the tip suggested that I could expect questions on the test regarding this because it was fundamental to security. Because I thought that was a "given" I didn't expect that there would be questions on the test about it. So the tips are very helpful.
In general, the book is a good study guide and review source for what you already know. The CD with the test review on it was also helpful. I shared it with someone who had actually tested and didn't pass and he said he wished he'd had that to study with before he took the test!
Highly recommended!

 Hit it with the old 1-2 and um....3May 01, 2011
By crazyITninja
So I passed my test...but not by using this book...I used the following...
1) Another book called "CompTIA get certified: get ahead" ($28.51) also here on amazon.
2) Googling "Security+ exams" and doing lots of practice tests online (FREE if you search around)
This "all-in-one" book actually came in through my mail AFTER I passed the test. (Amazon shipping takes forever to get here to Japan.)
And after reading through it, I can honestly say that if you would like to pass your test NOW, purchase the "CompTIA get certified: get ahead" book. Basically it takes what this book says, cuts out the BS, side jokes, and in-depth explanations and says:
apples = red. Remember it. Bananas = yellow. Remember it. But in a more readable/enjoyable manner. (I'm merely explaining how it skips the details more than this "all-in-one" book does.)
However if you would like to actually UNDERSTAND what was on the test and be able to PERFORM the tasks after getting hired to a new job because of your new shiny Security+ certificate, I would recommend reading this "all-in-one" book as well (but it isn't really "necessary" to read this entire book in order to pass your test).
So if you get the get certified get ahead, this all-in-one, and hit up those online practice tests. You will start to see repetition amongst all three study materials, and when you take your cert test, you will read the first 3 words and know EXACTLY what the question is asking and be able to recognize the right answer.
Hope this helped! and Good luck guys! YOU CAN DOO ITTT!!!!!

My first certificationSep 20, 2010
By Southern
"{SOUTHERN}"
I ordered this book a couple months ago and used this as my only preparation for the exam. I don't work the field but I understand the concepts because of my current job which has a lot of security concepts. This book was great in breaking down everything to someone like me with no experience. I read it cover to cover and did the reviews for each chapter and re-read the area for the questions I didn't understand. This book was a great tool in preparing me for test day.
I'd recommend this book to anyone who's looking to add to their resume like I have with this book.
Considering that I don't work the field and this is also my first ever certification, I believe this book is all that is needed.
I passed with a score of 805.
If you're like me and haven't had any experience and need a crash course then this is probably the book for you.
