Book description

Why has CompTIA (the high-profile Computer Technology Industry Association behind the wildly popular A+ and Network+ certifications) targeted security for its latest credential? Thanks to soaring e-business initiatives and worldwide Internet connectivity, recent survey stats from the Computer Security Institute (CSI) show we need more network security specialists-fast!

Boasting a one-of-a-kind integration of text, DVD-quality instructor-led training, and Web-based exam simulation and remediation, Security+ Study Guide & DVD Training System gives students 100% coverage of official CompTIA Security+ exam objectives plus realistic test prep.

Security+ is sure to become an instant industry standard. Leading cert industry publications and Web portals forecast the rapid rise of security certifications in 2003, and CompTIA's growth curve of A+ and Network+ technicians suggests that Security+ certified engineers could easily number 100,000 by the end of next year

The first Security+ study resource to market, Security+ Study Guide & DVD Training System bundles all 3 of these teaching technologies to give Security+ candidates the edge they need to pass this career-boosting new exam-and achieve certification-on their very first try.
Syngress has become a leader in IT certification-blending innovative teaching methodologies with such groundbreaking tools as exam simulators, instructor-led DVDs, and integrated Web-based support.
