Security + revamp

kevozz

Is Comptia currently working on a new version of the Security+ exam?

Is there a release date yet?


Current version for 2002:
CompTIA Security+ 2002 Exam: SY0-101


I want to use this as an elective for my MCSE 2000/2003.


The Network+ and A+ only applies to the MCSA correct?



Thanks.

The one I took said "2007 test objectives" in parenthesis next to Security+

Unless you choose MCSA: Security. Then you can use your security+

That is correct. You can use A+ & Network+. and Security + for MCSA and Security+ for MCSE.

As to the other question. My test today said CompTIA Security+ (2007 Edition) Exam. It is still listed as the same exam though its just a yearly update, so the exam is still SY0-101.

Comptia e-mailed this to me this morning

Certification Update

CompTIA has just conducted a job task analysis (JTA) of the CompTIA Security+ exam as part of the development of a revised exam for late 2008. The next stage in exam development is a survey of security professionals. The purpose of the survey is to statistically validate and confirm the content for the revised CompTIA Security+ (2008 Edition) Exam Objectives developed during the recent JTA workshop.
