CompTIA provides vendor neutral exams that will test your knowledge in various ways.  I mentioned both exams because there are principles of both exam present on each.  Meaning you may see some security principles on the Network+ exam and vice versa.  You can take the Security+ exam only but it would be beneficial to study for the Network+ as well for a more well rounded approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are well written guides available on Amazon and other book stores that can be used for study material.  If your skilled at navigating Youtube University, I&#8217;ve heard there is a lot of information there.
