Certification Alignment

Every study component in this bundle maps to the five official domains of the CompTIA Security+ SY0-701 exam.

• General Security Concepts (12%) — security controls, cryptography fundamentals, and change management
• Threats, Vulnerabilities, and Mitigations (22%) — threat actors, attack surfaces, malware, and mitigation techniques
• Security Architecture (18%) — cloud, network, and data protection architecture plus resilience and recovery
• Security Operations (28%) — hardening, monitoring, incident response, identity and access management, and automation
• Security Program Management and Oversight (20%) — governance, risk management, compliance, and audits

The exam has a maximum of 90 questions, mixes multiple-choice and performance-based items, and runs 90 minutes. You pass at 750 on a scale of 100 to 900.

Career Impact

Security+ is the baseline cybersecurity certification most employers ask for, and it satisfies a widely used government requirement.

• Prepares you for roles such as Security Analyst, Security Administrator, and SOC Analyst
• Also fits Systems Administrators, Network Administrators, and IT Auditors moving into security
• Maps to NICE and DoD 8140 work roles, which many government and contractor positions require
• Leads naturally to CompTIA CySA+, PenTest+, or SecurityX as your next certification

Learning Outcomes

By the end of this bundle, you can do the following.

• Assess and manage risk, and apply the right administrative, technical, and physical controls.
• Choose and apply cryptographic methods, including PKI and certificate management.
• Configure authentication, authorization, and identity management.
• Secure hosts, local networks, wireless, cloud, and mobile deployments.
• Recognize threat actors, attack types, and social engineering techniques, then mitigate them.
• Harden systems, monitor for incidents, and follow an incident response process.
• Support governance, compliance, and audit activity within a security program.
• Sit the exam having already rehearsed the question format under timed conditions.

Prerequisites

There is no required prerequisite certification. CompTIA recommends the Network+ certification plus about two years of experience in a security or systems administrator role.

The eBook builds from foundational concepts, and the included pre-assessment test shows you where to start. Each simulation also opens with a guided walkthrough before it challenges you to apply the skill. You need a Windows, macOS, Chrome OS, or Linux computer, because iOS and Android are not supported.

Mike Meyers’ CompTIA Security+ Certification Guide, Third Edition

Get complete coverage of the material on the CompTIA Security+ SY0-701 exam inside this comprehensive, up-to-date resource. Mike Meyers and Scott Jernigan, both CompTIA certification and training experts, wrote the guide.

Each chapter opens with learning objectives, then works through the material with exam tips and scenarios along the way. Practice questions come with in-depth explanations, so you learn why an answer is right rather than just which one it is.

The guide is designed to help you pass the CompTIA Security+ exam, and it doubles as an on-the-job reference afterward. It covers all exam topics, including:

• Risk management and security controls
• Cryptography and PKI
• Authentication and authorization
• Host, LAN, and application security
• Wireless, cloud, and mobile security
• Threats, attacks, and social engineering
• Security operations, monitoring, and incident response
• Governance, risk, and compliance

TotalVouchers with Retake

TotalVouchers with retake for the CompTIA Security+ certification exam include one exam voucher with the option to use a retake voucher. Prepare to pass knowing you have two chances to take the exam.

A retake voucher reduces test anxiety, sharpens your focus, and boosts your confidence, so you can approach the exam with peace of mind.

Vouchers are valid for the Security+ exam.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in this bundle?

You get Mike Meyers’ CompTIA Security+ Certification Guide, Third Edition as an eBook, TotalSims with 135 simulation elements across 102 lab topics, TotalTester with 850+ multiple-choice questions, and one Security+ exam voucher with a retake option. Your purchase also includes a video introduction to the certification, an hour of video training, a pre-assessment test, and Mike’s toolbox of network security freeware and shareware.

Why buy all three study products together?

Each one does a different job. The eBook teaches the material, the simulations build hands-on skill for performance-based questions, and the practice tests rehearse the multiple-choice format under exam conditions. The voucher then pays for the exam itself.

What is the Security+ exam like?

The SY0-701 exam has a maximum of 90 questions, mixes multiple-choice and performance-based items, and runs 90 minutes. You pass at 750 on a scale of 100 to 900.

How does the retake work?

If you fail on your first attempt, use the same voucher to register and retake the exam. The retake applies only to the same exam version you failed. We cannot provide retakes for expired vouchers or no-shows.

Are vouchers refundable?

No. All vouchers and retake vouchers are non-refundable, and their expiration date cannot be extended. So don’t purchase until you’re ready to schedule your exam.

How long do I have access to the study materials?

You have a single-user three-year license for the eBook, TotalSims, and TotalTester from the date of purchase. Note that the voucher has its own, much shorter expiration.

Can I download the eBook?

No. You read it online at the Total Seminars Training Hub, where you can access each chapter 24 hours a day.

What devices can I use?

Windows, macOS, Chrome OS, or Linux (iOS and Android not supported). So you need a laptop or desktop rather than a phone or tablet.

Is this aligned to the latest CompTIA Security+ exam version?

Yes. Every study component aligns to the current SY0-701 objectives and covers all five official domains.

Can I use this for classroom or multi-user training?

Single-user licenses cover individual use only. Therefore, they are not valid for classroom instruction. For volume licensing, call 877-687-2768 for discounted multi-user pricing.

What happens after I purchase?

You’ll receive an order confirmation email immediately, then a second email with your Total Seminars Training Hub login, then a third email with your voucher code and its expiration date. If nothing arrives within 30 minutes, check your spam folder or contact support@totalsem.com.
