 Excellent resource. Scored high and passed Security+ 2008 March 1, 2010

Mark Ciampa's Security+ Guide to Network Fundamentals 3rd edition, is an excellent resource for new users or novices who need to understand Security concepts and succeed. We used this as a college textbook, and worked exclusively from the book.
The book is a very easy read, and is written well. The book keeps things moving with the hands on labs and very easy to use. The end of chapter questions make it easy to solidify the chapter topics. The exam engine included in the book is very intuitive, and allows you to work on your weak areas by identifying the topics that need work.
Scoring 100% on all the chapter questions, and the CertBlaster exam engine allowed me to pass the Security+ 2008 exam with ease with plenty of time to spare. I highly recommend this book.
Note: To succeed in passing the exam, you must read, do the labs, understand your subject matter, and practice, practice, practice. No shortcuts here.

This book was required for an online course and i found it to be very adequate and informative. if one does the exercises and labs that are associated with the book they can gain a valuable insight into the field of network technology and skills to protect themselves and their organizations.
A+ in network security content May 24, 2010

Security+ Guide to Network Security Fundamentals by Mark Ciampa is a great Network Security book. Mark Ciampa has done a great job in the 3rd edition by providing excellent overall content of network security. Even my security + professor is impressed. I'm even thinking about getting my CISSP certification after I get my security + certification because there are only a few differences between this security + book and the CISSP book.
Great book for a great price April 13, 2009

Needed the book for school but was too expensive from B&N and my schools book store, so I checked Amazon and found it for $30 less. Its a great book, very up to date, gives great examples and comes with a CD I still haven't checked out.
