@@yemibetty7601 I made use of all the available resources as I was new to tech, no prior experience. I used Exam Cram, watched Professor Messer and Jason Dion videos. I was also gifted a book by Darril Gibson. Best of luck.
I usually don't double comment on videos, but I would like to thank you for this video series! I studied this entire series two full times along with a few other resources and I passed my 601 Exam today on the first try!
@@TheLitStoic Along with this, I used the following: The Sec+ 601 study guide and practice test book by Mike Chapple, Professor Messer's 601 YT playlist & practice exams, practice tests from passemall (pass em all), Cyberkraft's PBQ videos on YT, and PowerCert animation's videos on YT to fill in A+/Net+ gaps as I had no prior knowledge or experience in these areas. Studied over the course of 5 months from October 23 to Feb 24.
Just coming back here to say... I watched your 601 cram video series (to brush up on unknown topics) MINUTES up until I took the exam... as of ~20 minutes ago- I can officially say I've PASSED. Thank you so much for this video.. Truly so thankful!
Just wanted to drop a quick message saying I passed my sec+ 601 last week with a score of 781 and the main reason was because of this cram series 🥳. I watched each video TWICE and read over some of your PDFs. I have such minimal IT experience so your videos were extremely helpful with helping me understand and retaining the information. Thank you so much for all you do 🙌🏾
I will be taking this exam in April of this year. Your Exam Cram have helped me understand Domain 2 and 3. I was having problems especially with domain 3. Hopefully this will help me pass my 601 Exams and then start your CISSP course. Thanks for sharing this content with us.
Thank you for all that you do! There are very few resources available that are as thorough and thoughtful as this. I’m gonna give this entire video multiple watches so hopefully I can get you some advertisement revenue watch time!
Glad you are finding that helpful. I did that by design. It is easy to speed up my videos for people who want to go faster, but especially for people new to security or whom English is not their first language, I thought it was a good idea. Good luck on the exam! 🍀🤞
I'm very grateful for this exam cram. It gets around all of the fluff, straight to the point and concise. Planning to take this weekend after finishing the series and practice exam questions + flashcards. Shouldn't be much longer before going over CISSP to become an associate of isc2. May I ask, how much overlap is this into CISSP. I know CISSP is managerial and very wide- would you say Sec+ would contribute around.. 1/5th of CISSP? I'm very much interested in GRC and Frameworks such as NIST 800-53, ISO 27001, 27002, PCI DSS, etc. think CISSP will definitely help on that front. Lastly, this information is great and all, but what would you recommend for practical skills in the GRC field. I'm not looking to get into Pentesting like OSCP- more so... compliance and auditing systems. Sec+ and CISSP seem to be pretty theoretical. I recently passed CCNA which is quite useful and nice as it serves as a backbone for all things networking- that and very hands on with labs. I would would like to develop some more hands on skills. Only thing I can think of relating to GRC would be ISACA stuff like CISA or CISM. Planning on using Qualys for PCI DSS. Advice?
Overlap for CISSP? Hard to be precise, but I'd say 15-20% topically that could be applicable, assuming you adopt the "think like a manager" mindset. There are some certs from ISC2 and ISACA that will give you GRC exposure, though some good old fashioned hands on practice with quantitative risk analysis, BCP, and policy development on your own is great. Connect with me on LinkedIn and we can chat more on some recommendations if you like.
Just want to let you know, I took and passed sec+ today. Using your exam cram series and pocketprep + some Jason Dion practice tests. It feels good. I will be joining you tomorrow for the start of the 8 week CISSP study :)@@InsideCloudAndSecurity
2:27:00 I would like to notate one point here. Degaussing is implied to destroy the media & make it non reusable which is correct for CD/DVD's in your example. However, the book that is recommended at the start of these videos state something extra. CH11, pg 339 under Data Sanitization; it clarifies that degaussing can be used on tapes and similar magnetic media to wipe the media without destroying it. Question 20 at the end of the same chapter asks about how to quickly wipe a tape for reuse without destroying it, and the correct answer is degaussing. It does clarify that CD/DVD, SSD, etc are a different case.
Wouldn’t worry too much about splitting that hair. For this exam, remember, crypto-shredding. Tape is seldom used anymore and unlikely to come up on the exam.
@@InsideCloudAndSecurity gotcha, I just figured that since the book wants to ask questions like that I would clarify it here since I assumed that the exam might pull a curveball by asking something like that. Finished the book last week and I'm doing a complete re-watch of this series as well as Messer's. Hope to test by the end of this month.
Your course is absolutely top-notch/fantastic, however @44:27 in the real world IaC is not something that is always used in conjunction with or even required for CI/CD. Many times CI/CD can run and deploy to systems completely independently of IaC at all, unless you are performing immutable deployments. Is this something CompTIA wants us to believe for the exam or is this from your experience in the field? I have subscribed and will be using your channel to prep for many other exams beyond CompTIA! Thanks for all of your hard work and effort in creating this course. I especially appreciate that you show countermeasures for practically every vulnerability. I gave up studying from a paid Security+ course because it is out of date with the current exam material and it definitely does not go into the countermeasures like you have!
That is my experience from the real world, and what you will hear from all the major cloud service platforms. Everybody deploys into the cloud in a repeatable fashion using infrastructure-as-code in their CI/CD pipelines. This minimizes mistakes and manual effort by ensuring deployment, are consistent, declarative, and idempotent. I have yet to see an environment of any size where infrastructure-as-code was not used. IaC is the rule not the exception.
Firstly, thanks so much for these videos! Been listening to them every chance I get so I can take the Sec+ by July. They're really helpful! One question I have in this section is, with a honey pot you're not supposed to entice attackers since that'd be entrapment but you can make a honey file. Can you explain how a honey file wouldn't be entrapment? Is it just that the honey file would be a fake file whereas the enticed file would be real?
A honeypot should be designed to entice, not entrap. You entice through attractive vulnerabilities that capture the attackers attention so they can be redirected to a sandbox and observed. What you do not do is entrap by enabling and allowing the attacker to commit a crime, such as providing a real HR employee file for them to download. Entrapment will result in your claims being thrown out (denied) in court.
@@InsideCloudAndSecurity I appreciate the quick response! That makes sense now about enticing. Does that mean that a honey file is a fake file that the attacker thinks is real?
Question but I was following the PDF while listening to the video but was page 88 of the PDF skipped? Cause it seems that it went from Software diversity to Continuous validation around the one hour mark.
Releasing an updated/consolidated full Security+ course later this week. Will take a look at this today and address in the update. Thanks for the heads up.
Can you add timestamps so folks can jump to specific sections? For example, if I wanted to jump directly to 2.7: Explain the importance of physical security controls... Etc..

Hi Pete - thanks for the great content, this has been tremendously helpful. I am still have trouble understanding the differences between backup types, specifically between Image vs. Snapshot vs. Copy. Do these backups types include all files and an OS? Any further insight is greatly appreciated!! Thank you again for the amazing content!
I keep taking the practice exams and I am scoring high but I feel like I am just memorizing the questions and not really learning. Not sure how to improve my learning
Important to mix your study media (explained at ruclips.net/video/9Hd8QJmZQUc/видео.html). Doing this keeps you away from the questions for a bit so you are less likely to memorize. Also, make sure to use all the questions in the Security+ bundle so you do not see the same questions so often.
