Describe the main difference.

220-1101 - 220-1102 vs syo-601

[Anthony Sequeira 0]

The two A+ courses and exams are not biased toward cybersecurity like SYO-601. While the A+ exams certainly touch on security - it is not the focus.

@Warren-Besthorne , @Anthony-Sequeira-0 is correct, and if I could add:

• The CompTIA: A+ 220-1101 exam is a hardware-focused exam:
  • Mobile devices
  • Networking
  • Hardware
  • Virtualization and Cloud Computing
  • Hardware and Network Troubleshooting
  • No focus on cybersecurity
• The CompTIA: A+ 220-1102 exam is a software-focused exam:
  • Operating systems
  • Security (this is 25% of the overall exam)
  • Software Troubleshooting
  • Operational procedures
• The CompTIA: Security+ SY0-601 as mentioned, is a cybersecurity-focused exam;
  • Attacks, Threats, and Vulnerabilities (24%)
  • Architecture and Design (21%)
  • Implementation (25%)
  • Operations and Incident Response (16%)
  • Governance, Risk, and Compliance (14%)

Great thank you.
I was look at the Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) v.12 But lot of talking,
I need hands on experience.
I will start with the SY0-601
Then move on to the CompTIA: A+ 220-1101 and 1102
