Need Security+ for work. Best/easiest study guide to guarantee certification?

I currently have the A+ cert from CompTia, but our home office is requiring us to get Sec+ within the next couple months. My day to day job requirements won't be changing so I don't need to really know how to do all the stuff outlined in Sec+, they are just upgrading their requirements for insurance reasons.
Any suggestions on the easiest path to certification?

Udemy has a good course by Mike Meyers for Sec+. Just had to renew mine with the new 601 series.
The practice exams offered through totalsem.com are pretty good as well.

You should be getting 15-20% more salary...
Sec plus is an easy 70k starting locally, more for remote work..
ETA: Sec+ was surprisingly (to me at least) more network focused than I expected..Like it was an extended Net+

Id have to say, that experience + cert would probably mean that salary…like anything, people can pass tests but should see some stuff on resume supporting their experience

My company has Infosec Skills and it is a great tool. I am working on my A+, working full-time and going for a masters...

Several cyber places (locally even) have 70k base with Sec+..Pay goes up as certs go up
Granted this was several years ago, so the talent pool might be deeper, but having no college and a handful of certs has proved to be the way forward at least for myself and the guys I've come up with
