5.0 out of 5 stars Solid Read From A Reliable Author

I like how Mike Meyers writes his books. I have used him for his A+ and Network+ books. A great solid read for anyone going for the Security+

The new format is kinda weird. Not bad though. It just allows for more review questions (46 modules vs. 28 chapters of Net+).

Overall along with a video series, this book, CertMaster, and Gibson's Practice Test book, I made an 850 out of 900 on the exam on my first try.

Mike Meyers' CompTIA Security+ Certification Guide (Exam SY0-401) (Certification Press)

Wow! it only took 2 days to get the hard cover book with cd and I ordered it "free shipping". That's got to be an all time record, I ordered it on Saturday the 12th and got it today, Monday the 14th. Fantastic! Love the book, also! I have bought books by Mike Meyers before and thought they were great!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Outline of Exam Topics and Buzzwords
Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2016

Passed with an 836 on on 8/24/16. I do not believe Meyers' book alone would have been enough to achieve that score, and I cannot say with certainty that it would have been enough to obtain the required 750 to pass.
My goal was to spend no more than three weeks studying for the exam, thought I was able to dedicate ~4 hours a day for two weeks. I chose this book because of past success with Meyers' A+ and Network+, and I like the condensed format of his books.
However, in addition to Meyers' book I used bits and pieces of the All-in-One Exam Guide, and lots of Wikipedia for concepts I did not fully understand, or that were not fully explained in Meyers' book. SY0-401 is a more difficult test than previous Sec+ tests (I had passed the 2008-version in 2010), and requires a deeper understanding of policies, procedures and protocols around security matters.
The Meyers' book does a poor job explaining Perimeter and Physical Control Types and Functionalities, and after reading and re-reading that section of the book I was confused about what constitutes a control v. a function; the All-in-One book helped to puts the pieces together.
To use this book, pay particular attention to concepts and buzzwords that may only be mentioned in a sentence or two, as they very likely will be covered on the exam. Take nothing for granted.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not what I expected...
Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2016

I picked this book up after reading Darril Gibson's book and I must say there are some conflicting concepts that ended up confusing me from Mike Meyers book. It is a bit dry but what CompTIA book isn't? I did end up learning new concepts from a different point of of view which was great, but some of the modules were very vague and left for the reader to fill in the blanks. The simulations that come along with this are no where near CompTIA's standard as all the sims are drag and drop text and only cover up to roughly 5 to 6 modules out of 42. The practice exams are out of date in terms of how they are presented. This book is a great supplement, but nothing more and it will not solely prepare you for the exam and it is highly overpriced for what you get. I have read both Darril Gibson's and this book, while using Professor Messer and Test Kings exam engines and I scored a 774 out of 900. Granted that is passing and I have no background in networking or security but this was by far a extremely hard test (SY0-401). Use as many resources as possible for this exam!

The book goes indepth with the material and makes it easy to understand and remember important points and topics. It is written like he is talking to you and not like a boring text book. If you are preparing to take the Security+ exam I recommend you get this book.

Well organized, simple English to let you understand the difficult term easier. To be honest, you can heavily rely on one book for any examination. Use this one as your core material and buy extra exercises to practice before the examination.

I found this book essential to passing the Security+ 401 edition of the test. I would suggest however supplemental study material. Deducted one star because I found Mr Meyers' material a bit wordy at various places in the book. Otherwise, very helpful.
