An Interview With The Author

What’s your CompTIA background, and how has this helped you write the book?

I’ve been teaching Security+ since the 401 version, and I deliver this course to candidates ranging from logistic managers to IT personnel, some of whom are new to IT. As a full-time trainer, I deliver lessons in a class environment for about 40 weeks in a year, and I’m in constant touch with the people that this book was written for.

Over the past three years, I have successfully certified over 1,500 students in a classroom environment, making me one of the most experienced CompTIA Security+ trainers to learn from. I am also A+, Network+, Security+, Cloud+, CASP, MCT, and Resilia qualified.

Who did you write this book for?

Keeping in mind the feedback that I’ve received as a CompTIA trainer over the last nine years, the content is written in a simple format so that it is easy-to understand and not full of legal jargon. To help students understand the more challenging areas of the syllabus, there are very easy-to-understand diagrams, and the book is filled with real world examples of the technology being described. I’ve avoided putting in about 150-200 pages of irrelevant fluff that you don’t need to know, while retaining the information you need to understand topics and become certified. The book is affordable for everyone to purchase, too. This book uses multiple choice questions to review each chapter, where the solutions is at the rear explaning the right and wrong answers.. I’ve also included three multiple choice mock exams that are online to give you the look and feel of the real exam and a measure of where you are before you spend $425 on purchasing the exam

What makes this guide different from other SY0-701 titles?

When I wrote this book, I thought of the person who wanted to earn the CompTIA Security+ certification to enable their careers to take off. This applies mainly to DOD and US Military as well as those seeking degrees or careers in cybersecurity. Each chapter is a separate exam objective so you can measure your progress towards certification, other books have the objective scattered across their different chapters. The book is also an excellent resource for managers and CEOs who would like an overview of security so that they can converse with their cybersecurity team. I’ve taken technical information and broken it down into manageable chunks so that readers can understand the concepts easily.
