Recommended study material for DSST Cyber Security
#1
Hello all,

I'm gearing up to tackle the DSST Cyber Security for a UL class at TESU, however I'm looking for recommended materials to study for this exam.  I've read mixed reviews from the Peterson's guide on Amazon, and i'm hoping to hear your experiences to find the best book to read before sitting for the exam.  I've been in IT for a while now, with a varied background: networking, VoIP & Windows support.  

Thanks in advance

InstantCert does not have flashcards for this exam, but there is a Specific Exam Feedback folder that has some study advice.

My son took all of the other CLEP and DSST for computer science and then did the TEEX courses for free. After all of that he passed the cybersecurity without any issues.

I've not taken the DSST, but I work in the field. I'm willing to bet that any Security+ study material will overlap with the DSST. I'd start with Professor Messer:

I second this. Took Security+ last week and passed the DSST today without studying for it. Might be a bit overkill but Professor Messer would be more than enough to pass it.
