Review: Beginners will come up to speed quickly but will also help those with experience. - For those with little to no experience. Recommended for the beginner. The book is well written and the topics well covered from a high to medium level. Is best used in conjunction with the referenced material within along with the online labs. The text provides much insight and great analogies for the beginner. Those with experience may find much of the text covers too much of what you already know. That said, it's helpful regardless as long as you skim the text for discovery of topics that you are weak on -but you just as well could skip this book, follow the provided outline for the course and research topics on your own. Still, this book is moderately useful even for serious experts. Just don't expect a technical reference. For reference, I had 15 years of experience prior to taking my exam, only skimmed this book for topics I was weak on, studied for one week, and then passed on my first try. I do credit the book with helping me pass. Review: Best book for Security+ - I was looking for the best structured book to do further studying after I received traditional classroom training. This book is probably the best book for Security+ on the market. I also purchased Darril's test question access which also has performance based questions that closely mirror the ones on the actual CompTIA Security+ exam. The other best thing is that Darril's website has audio files which you can listen to while your in the car to maximize you study time more effectively. Structure - the book was structured from simple to complex methodologies and each chapter builds on the next . Digestible content - This exam was not my first rodeo and this book simplified the process of public key exchange which can confuse most students because of their functionality in certain contexts. Darril does an amazing job for breaking down the key concepts and puts them into a real world scenario so you can understand how they are applied. Overall, anyone looking to pass the Security+ exam the first time should use this book, I passed it the first time using his book and test question. I also used another book as a secondary means of studying also which was the Exam Cram book for Security+. Most times I found myself going right back to this book because it was fun and confidence building to read it. Note to future Security+ test takers: Youtube videos will not give you the foundational prowess you need to pass the exam. Without violating the CompTIA NDA, this test is no joke compared to the previous SY0-400 exam, I took approximately four weeks of hitting this book and the website before I scheduled my first take of the Security+ exam. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #859,920 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #743 in Computer & Technology Certification Guides #3,116 in Computer Science (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 4,775 Reviews | ## Images ![CompTIA Security+ Get Certified Get Ahead: SY0-501 Study Guide - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71odCZi863L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beginners will come up to speed quickly but will also help those with experience. *by N***R on August 18, 2019* For those with little to no experience.

This book, however, gave me all of the information I needed to solidly pass the exam! The initial assessment questions were useful to identify areas of particular weakness, and I used the results to focus my studying. The practice questions both in the book and in the supplemental materials provided online were essential, ESPECIALLY the ones that demonstrated how the "exercise" category of questions would work. Taking the time to complete every offered question after reading the chapters was a great way to drive home the lessons. I appreciated the summarizations at the end of each chapter, which focused on especially important bits of information to know before taking the exam. I also appreciated the extensive list of acronyms at the end of the book. As is often the case, knowing the meaning of the acronyms allowed for eliminating one or two candidate answers on more than a few of the exam questions. The 10% discount voucher provided with the book makes purchasing the book a cost saver in addition to an excellent study guide. Buying both the book and the exam cost less than buying the exam alone would have cost, which I appreciated. Thank you for providing a well-written, focused study guide. I was happy to pass the exam the first time I sat it, and that success was largely due to the information I gleaned from reading through this book! ## Frequently Bought Together - CompTIA Security+ Get Certified Get Ahead: SY0-501 Study Guide - CompTIA Security+ Certification Kit: Exam SY0-701 (Sybex Study Guide) - CompTIA Security+ Get Certified Get Ahead: SY0-701 Study Guide --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/47659024-comptia-security-get-certified-get-ahead-sy0-501-study-guide](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/47659024-comptia-security-get-certified-get-ahead-sy0-501-study-guide) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-06-03*
