I'm withholding my review of this book until I take my Security+ exam. Only then I will know how well it prepared me for the test.

Esencial guía para disponer de una introducción a la seguridad, conceptos esenciales sin embargo no a profundidad

[Dzung Vuong · Rating 4 out of 5]

I used this as part of my Security+ exam preparation.

Chapter 9 - Malware, Vulnerabilities and Threats should be a required read for anyone using computers and mobile phones in order to have better awareness.

I find the companion test preparation questions very useful.

The material is well explained and structured. There are no numbering in the sections which makes it confusing for follow up.

However, the book is amazing and will definitely help you pass the comptia security+ exam.

I was not going to add work books, but I spent a lot of time on this and the Mike Meyers book, so I counted them.

This is more technical, tougher reed that the Meyers book. Very dry. Glad I read both, but if I were to recommend only 1 this would be it.

Passed the test!
