CompTIA Security+ Get Certified Get Ahead: SY0-501 Study Guide by Darril GibsonMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Passed this exam today, using this book as my primary resource. It's less dry than other textbooks (Gibson clearly likes his Simpsons) and it provides good coverage of the exam requirements. However I'd recommend using alongside other resources (videos, online tests) to stand your best chance
Couple of notes about the exam, don't think I'm breaking any NDAs with the below
- the questions in the book are a little easier than in the exam, but useful for getting used to the tricksy wording. Would recommend coupling with a test application (I used Pocket Prep's Android app)
- Know your acronyms! If you don't know your MTTRs from your MTBFs etc, postpone until you do.
- This gives no preparation for the Simulation based questions, try to find a resource that gives you a sense of what will be asked.
- The book doesn't prepare you for reading logs or more complex CMD line queries, a test lab or some exposure to these would be useful
