Book Reviews of CompTIA Security+ Study Guide: Exam SY0-101
Book Review: Technical errors abound
Summary: 2 Stars
I'm only halfway through the book, and it appears well-written; it's interesting enough to read and has few typographical errors. The problem is that there is an abundance of not only technical laziness, but also outright technical inaccuracies and errors throughout the text.
I am trying not to be too harsh; I am a CCNA, and probably have a deeper understanding of networking than is necessary for this test. I'm trying to branch out my skillset and credentials, and figured a low-level security certification would be a good way to start.
If the level of technical detail required for the test is adequately represented in this book, then the test should be a breeze. General security concepts seem to be covered a bit better than the underlying networking and system-specific material. That's great, as security is obviously the thrust of the book. However, this does not excuse the authors or any technical reviewers from the numerous errors and gross oversimplifications present. DO NOT rely on this book for accurate technical information. Period.
