I purchased the book back in Feb . I had no IT experience but this book along with other recourses taught me a lot. I passed the test and landed my first job in IT help desk
This book was my main source to pass the exam with NO prior IT knowledge, though I used some other sources as well . You just have to read from page to cover.Thank you so much Darrel for this amazing book and May your soul continue to rest in peace.
Read through the book and took the practice tests. I passed the Security + test thanks to this book.
I like the amount of useful information packed into this book. It is written eloquently and easy for novice technology users to comprehend. I would however recommend that if you are completely new and want to get into cybersecurity, that you start with the CompTIA A+ learning material first. Even if you don't buy the official book, or plan to take an exam for the A+, the information in the A+ is pretty much a prerequisite to understanding more advanced topics like networking and/or security. For fundamental knowledge on computing and IT, you can find free courses online. You can't understand quantum physics without first understanding classical physics, and that same concept applies to technological concepts. Overall this is a great book, and is only docked a star because of its price, which the authors in no way had a decision on.
As someone who recently passed the certification, I can confidently say this guide is a game-changer! It’s like having a friendly cybersecurity mentor by your side. The content is clear, concise, and laser-focused on what matters. No fluff, no jargon overload. Plus, the exam topic review sections at the end of each chapter are pure gold! They help you zero in on the crucial stuff. And guess what? I snagged an exclusive 12% exam discount voucher from inside the book. So, if you’re gearing up for the Security+ exam, grab this guide, it’ll be your secret weapon!
Just passed SY0-701 with an 802. While this was not my only resource, it was definitely a good one! Watched through Messer's course, then read this after. What a great way to supplement my learning! Having 2 different author perspectives and some repetition of the exam objectives really helped bring this one home. Even if you don't like to read, simply skimming this book, taking notes of the key points outlined, and utilizing the practice quizzes and pre/post exams provided makes it worth alot more than what it costs. Don't just take my advice, look at all of the other positive reviews. If you are still wondering whether or not this book is worth it, please just buy it and you will see. You won't be disappointed.
Used this book as my primary study resource. Having no background in information security I was able to pass my CompTIA Security+ 701. It’s very helpful it lays out the exam objectives covered in each chapter. I read a chapter a day and made extensive notes based of the objectives covered in each. Took my exam and passed in less than two weeks. This will be a go to whenever I need as well with the helpful important topics at the end of each chapter that can be reviewed easily. Can’t recommend this book enough!!
