CertiGuide to Security+  9  Introduction and “Guide to the Guide”

About the Authors 1 2 Dedication

This new book fills the gap existing in the complete study aid material available for candidates preparing to take the CompTIA Security+ SY0-101 Examination. This book covers information associated with each exam topic in detail and includes information found in no other book. Every effort has been made to make this manual as complete and accurate as possible.

This book's high level of accuracy and exam-relevancy is due to the tremendous feedback we received from hundreds of successful Security+ beta test-takers who used a draft of our study aid to pass the SY0-101 exam. The preview draft was literally proofread by 10,000 pairs of eyes. As the first comprehensive study resource available, it is still the best and most widely read. Pick up a book with a "known" brand name if you want that comfort factor... And pick up this book, the MOST-PROVEN Security+ resource, for success on the exam!

The organization of InsideScoop to Security+ directly follows the domains listed in the official Security+ exam objectives, for ease of reference. The book includes hundreds of pages of clear explanations, graphics and definitions vital to success on the Security+ exam, and bonuses for those hoping to have a future in computer security, such as:

• Clearly-marked success tips with information that will help you pass Security+
  
  
• Hundreds of "getting ready" and end-of-chapter practice questions, in print, with access to an on-line test sim to prepare you for The Real Thing
  
  
• Hundreds of footnotes to more advanced books and articles, and "geek notes" for optional reading, in case you want more coverage of a topic than the exam requires
  
  
• Real world questions relating to your own network's security, which you can work through to ensure that you are NOT just another "paper Security+"
  
  
• Detailed chapter summaries reinforcing key-concepts

This title is a “I want to make sure I know everything about Security+ before I spend a couple hundred bucks on SY0-101.” If you are in the game for in-depth understanding, this is this book for you.
