Security+ Certification For Dummies (For Dummies (Computers))

This work prepares readers for the newest vendor-neutral, industry-sponsored IT security exam, an attractive certification option for system security personnel. Security+ has been endorsed by major players like Microsoft, IBM, and the Department of Defense and is expected to become a prerequisite for many vendor-specific certifications. It is a fast, easy way for IT professionals to learn what they need to qualify for a security credential that is less expensive and less time-consuming than CISSP, SSCP, or SANS GIAC. Author's experience includes security consulting for multinational concerns and systems security management in the U.S. Navy. CD-ROM includes hundreds of randomly-generated bonus test questions and both timed and untimed versions of the practice test.
