i read this book to prepare for the COMPTIA Security + exam. I haven't taken it yet, so I can't tell how reading this book has helped me. but I will say that I like the flow, writing style, and organization of this book. unlike other study guides that are more like glossary, the author does a magnificent job at breaking the information down and explains in practical terms how the information being discussed is pratical in every day cybersecurity functions/routines.

One of the most complete certificación related books i hace read. Concepts are well explained and examples are relevantes to the subject. You will see same concepts in several chapters, it may seems redundant but in fact it provides you the different dimensions of the same subject.
