CompTIA Security+ (Exam SYO-601)

A friend told me that I seem to have a knack for security and should go into Cyber Security. I researched a little and found that the CompTIA Security+ exam is a good place to start. By doing this exam, I will learn Cyber Security and I will also find out if I like doing Cyber Security as a job. The CompTIA Security+ exam costs $392.00, which seems expensive at the same time affordable in finding out if this space of employment is for me.

I have mapped out my study plan into five weeks, based on the book CompTIA Security+ All-in-One Exam Guide Exam SY0-601 (Sixth Edition) (ISBN-10: 1260464008, ISBN-13: 978-1260464009)
