    Hi,

    I did the Security+ certification exam earlier this year. It helped that
    I'd done the CISSP and CISA exams already, but I found Security+ just a little
    more technical and less broad than CISSP/CISA.

    I got the Microsoft Press Security+ certification book that was quite helpful,
    and likewise - I passed first try also.

    Cheers,

    Nigel Hedges
    [CISA/CISSP/Security+]
