CompTIA Security+ Study Guide with over 500 Practice Test Questions: Exam SY0-701 (Sybex Study Guide) 9th Edition

If you want to study, this book is great. I definitely recommend good luck. Thank you.

Great stuff. It’s structured well and has practice questions at the end of each chapter.

Passed my exam yesterday! Great info to help you through most of the SY0-701 exam objectives. Easy to understand. You will need additional reference sources if using this guide as the core. Would have given 5 stars but the practice questions lacked PBQs as you will encounter during the actual exam.

If you're new to the cybersecurity world and want to be taken seriously by HR then one of the first certifications you should have on your resume is the Security+ certification by CompTIA. Mike Chapple is one of the few authors who's way of teaching the subject matter of cybersecurity (blue team/defense) approachable to a vast audience. In conjunction with this guide I would also encourage potential buyers to also purchase his study notes on Security+ ( In PDF format) on his website which you find by doing a quick Google search : certmike.com. Hope this helps!

My employer requires my position to possess a Security+ certificate. I am a programmer by nature, not an IT person. I bought this book, read it, and took 98 pages of notes. I then bought the companion practice exam book and glanced at the first 3 chapters of the exam book (I ran out of time and didn't get through it, my test was already scheduled). I took the test and passed with a 753. Ultimately, however good or bad this book is, it did the job for me. If you buy this book and seriously read it, you should be able to pass the test. Also, the practice exams are reasonably in the vein of the actual test (not exactly the same questions, but very similar).

It's a study guide for the 701 sec+ exam. If that's what you need, it's perfect.

Never knew that it was available in a binder, that works much better than just a book for studying...

The book has good information , but the online test bank that you can register online is through wiley.com. which has been very reliable so far. My passwords stop working and they say my email does not exist. Ive gotten into the testbank once and was logged out and once again my email does not exist. I would say get this just for the book and use quizlet for flash cards and quizes.
