Book description
The Security+ exam certifies that candidates have demonstrated the aptitude and ability to master general security concepts, communications security, infrastructure security, basics of cryptography, and operation/organizational security. Security+ is taught at Excelsior College, Capella University, and Ivy Tech. Several key industry leaders back this exam, including IBM, ISACA, Microsoft, Motorola, Novell, Symantec, Tivoli, Sun Microsystems, and VeriSign. The Security+ Certification Practice Questions Exam Cram 2 (SYO-101) provides readers with over 500 practice test questions as well as complete answer explanations, giving readers the perfect complementary tool for their Security+ studies. Features relevant Exam Notes to help readers score better on the tests, plus the ever-popular "Cram Sheet" tear card, which is used for last minute cramming.
