Security+ Fast Pass

Rating:
Summary: Passed the test using this as a secondary text
Review: I passed the test with a 836. This is midway between the passing cutoff (764) and the maximum score (900).

I used FastPass as a quick review before taking the test. If you are new to InfoSec, as I was, read a full study guide first.
The one I used was "Security+ Study Guide, 2nd Edition" published by Sybex 2004, ISBN 0-7821-4350-4. This book is on CompTIA's Authorized Quality Curriculum list for this test and it deserves to be.

If you are a seasoned InfoSec pro FastPass may be all you need to pass the test. One caution: FastPass gets asymmetric cryptology and public/private keys wrong (the Study Guide gets it right; also goto rsalabs.com and click Crypto FAQ).

Read my Amazon review on the "Security+ Study Guide, 2nd Edition" mentioned above.
