Editorial Reviews

Product Description
As part of the TotalRecall: IT Certification System Series, 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.

Get the final print version of the Security+ study aid that the Net has been talking about since the Security+ exam beta,; fully guaranteed by the publisher to help you PASS SECURITY+!

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 guaranteed 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 (InsideScoop to) is a "I want to make sure I know everything about Security+ before I spend a couple hundred bucks on SY0-101." This book contains a CDROM with over 400+ practice exam questions directly related to the Security+ certification topics.

If you are in the game for in-depth understanding, this is this book for you. Helen and Tcat encourage questions from and support the readers of this work. To us, it is another form of Networking, and we look forward to hearing from you.

5.0 out of 5 stars I PASSED!, December 20, 2002
By A Customer
I took the Security+ beta exam and used the prerelease version of this book to study. I got my results in...and I PASSED! Loaded with extremely clear and straight-to-the-point explanations, it a great read for the busy network admin. I was very comfortable taking the beta exam with the knowledge gained from this guide, and some of the concepts I learned has helped me to strengthen security measures at my job.
This book is more than ''just'' an exam guide for me. I am definitely buying the book version upon release for our department resource library!

5.0 out of 5 stars Maps very accurately to the exam objectives., November 24, 2002
By Jonathan Foster (Monticello, ky United States) - See all my reviews
I used the pre-release PDF version of this book as a guide for the beta security+ exam. While I had other books to study that were for other security certs this one was dead on in its presentation of the material and its mapping to the published security+ objectives.
As an IS manager I plan on making it "and the Security+ certification" mandatory reading for my staff.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have, December 6, 2002
By A Customer
This book goes very indepth as to what the security issues are or can be. It gives you an unbelievable amount of knowledge in order for you to both achieve high marks on the exam and to better protect yourself in the real world. The language in this book is not your common techie stuff......it breaks it down into common everyday language that everyone can truly understand. Instead of having that professor that is rambling on and on and you truly can not understand what he is telling you, you should own this book as I do so that your levels of understanding and comprehension are at their highest through all of those endless hours of rambling. A MUST READ!!!
