    Review: TICSA Training Guide

    The TICSA Training Guide is invaluable for anyone trying to prepare for the TruSecure ICSA Certified Security Associate certification exam (exam TU0-001). The information is explained clearly and the terms and resources in the appendix are very useful. The chapter questions and practice exam provide a good feel for the sort of questions you can expect to encounter on the exam. If you are studying for this exam, this book is a must-buy. If you are studying for a different security certification such as Security+ or CISSP, this book can still help you to reinforce the concepts you need to pass. If you aren’t taking any exam, this book is still worth the time and money to help you learn and remember key security technology and concepts.
