I agree with Rodney and also the author of that ebook now has his own
Security + exam guide, Examwise for Security+ by Tcat Houser.  Also the
Security+ training guide and DVD by Robert Shimonoski is good.

Subject: Security+ Advice


I am a System Admin of 6 years with a MCSE, CNE, and CCNA. I would
like to begin a transition into the security side of IT, and figure that the
Security+ certification would be a good place to start. Also I can use it
for credit
toward the new "MCSE +Security" which makes it extra useful. I am confident
I have a good foundation in security, but would like to hear some
recommendations from the list members on books they may have used for the
Security+.

Thanks,
Stephen G.
