This book includes the same elements readers raved about in the previous versions. Each of the eleven chapters presents topics in an easy-to-understand manner and includes real-world examples of security principles in action. The author uses many of the same analogies and explanations that he honed in the classroom that have helped hundreds of students master the Security+ content.
As an example, test-takers sometimes have trouble understanding captive portals, which is a highly testable topic. Darril explains captive portals and then provides real-world examples showing how organizations use them to provide users with free Internet access, and sometimes for paid internet access.
With this study guide, you’ll understand the important and relevant security topics for the Security+ exam without being overloaded with unnecessary details. Additionally, each chapter includes a comprehensive Exam Topic Review section to help you focus on what’s important.
Over 300 realistic practice test questions with in-depth explanations will help you test your comprehension and readiness for the exam. The study guide includes a 75-question pre-test, a 75-question post-test, and practice test questions at the end of every chapter. Each practice test question includes a detailed explanation helping you understand why the correct answers are correct and why the incorrect answers are incorrect. You’ll also have access to free online resources including labs and additional practice test questions. Using these resources, you’ll be ready to take and pass the exam the first time you take it.
If you plan to pursue any of the advanced security certifications, this guide will also help you lay a solid foundation of security knowledge. Learn this material, and you’ll be a step ahead for other exams. This SY0-601 study guide is for any IT or security professional interested in advancing in their field and a must-read for anyone striving to master the basics of IT systems security.
