Synopsis

NOTE: The name of the exam has changed from CSA+ to CySA+. However, the CS0-001 exam objectives are exactly the same. After the book was printed with CSA+ in the title, CompTIA changed the name to CySA+. We have corrected the title to CySA+ in subsequent book printings, but earlier printings that were sold may still show CSA+ in the title. Please rest assured that the book content is 100% the same.
