The new Security+ certification includes trends and technologies that the industry had not adopted back in 2017 when SY0-501 was launched. Keeping the rising sophisticated attacks and ever-increasing dependency on cloud and IoT into consideration, the objectives of the updated exam may include the following topics:
Cloud security
Securing the increasing virtualization platforms
Protecting the IoT environment
Securing the online payment systems
Monitoring tools
Application skills such as administration and configuration skills
Network access control models
The current CompTIA Security+ SY0-501 exam covers six domains, whereas the new SY0-601 exam covers only five domains as some of the domains and objectives are renamed and reordered.
The following table showcases the respective domains of both the versions with their percentage weightage in the examination.
In the updated version, the ‘Threats, attacks, and vulnerability’ domain has 8 exam objectives. The domain extensively covers the latest social engineering techniques, different types of attacks (including the adversarial artificial intelligence attacks, physical attacks). It explains different types of threat actors, vectors, and intelligence sources that are not introduced in the SY0-501. It also includes a security assessment and pen testing techniques. The exam weightage of the domains in the updated version has increased to 24%.

I used professor messer videos which are available on youtube for free. I took 4 weeks to complete this course.
ReplyDeleteNext I took exam questions from Skillcertpro , They contain around 850 questions. Spent 2 hours a day for 1 week to complete all 11 mock exams.
These mock exams really helped me to gain confidence for scheduling the exam. I passed the exam on feb 2021. To my surprise, most of the exams are from Skillcertpro mock exams, which helped to answer questions quickly and cleared the exam with 95%.
This is a quite medium difficulty exam, but with good preparation we can nail the exam.
Good luck.
It was not easy for me to pass CompTIA Security+ without the help of SY0-601 Dumps study material. This is the most compact material available in PDF form which gave me confidence about my exam. I attempted all the questions in the final test.
