I found this study guide very helpful during my CompTIA CS0-002 exam preparation as I've recently passed this exam. It is very comprehensive and explains every topic. I practiced a lot as well on the
CompTIA CySA+ practice test
. This practice test follows the CompTIA questioning style and cover all core exam objectives in depth that are required to pass the exam.

This book is a good foundation for what is needed for the test but you'll need a lot more than this to pass. Id recommend also getting the practice test book and watch certify breakfast's videos. You'll need to know a lot of practical knowledge for Nmap aswell as understanding differences between outputs of credentialed scans, non credentialed scans and compliance scans.

Despite being quite the verbose author, this was the best comprehensive study resource for the CySA+ exam. Keep the objectives out while reading to cut down on Chapple's long-winded explanations. Chapter 10 & 12 were the most helpful! Couldn't have passed without this book.

Informative but quite dry, and reads like a textbook. It would've been nice if it had more examples, stories, etc. to liven it up. Includes some info that goes beyond exam objectives, but is useful for an InfoSec career. Each chapter ends with lab exercises and example exam questions, and a practice exam is included as an appendix.
