Since I have just completed this exam - the answer would be no. You will have better luck using the books as a study guide which target the actual topics covered in the exam. I recommend the Mike Meyers' Certification Passport for Security+ - that helped prepare for the exam much better than the web based class that I did take at a training center, which turned out to be useless. They did not have anyone on staff there certified or able to answer any of the questions I asked about the material. Good luck!!!! -Bob -----Original Message----- From: listbounce () securityfocus com [mailto:listbounce () securityfocus com] On Behalf Of Chip Panarchy Sent: Monday, July 20, 2009 12:58 AM To: security-basics () securityfocus com Subject: Security+ Certification - Is the SANS materials enough? Hello I've been studying the CBT-Nuggets for the Security+ certification, however, haven't had much chance to watch the videos. In your opinion, would the free articles on this topic be enough to pass the exam? http://www.sans.org/resources/security_plus/ As the advantage I see in this is; - Modular - Free - Printable (not 600+ pages) - Studyable at lunch!!! [biggest advantage over CBT!!!] Would be interested in your thoughts on the matter. Thanks in advance, Panarchy PS: I've recently become Microsoft Certified (MCP) and will eventually get the MCSA (thanks in part, to Security+). Also planning on studying these next 2 months for the Apple certification (ACSP). What are your thoughts on the aforementioned certifications? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Securing Apache Web Server with thawte Digital Certificate In this guide we examine the importance of Apache-SSL and who needs an SSL certificate.
