COMPTIA SECURITY+ CERTIFICATION

Prepare for the CompTIA Security+ SYO-701 certification while building your cybersecurity knowledge, skills, and abilities.

Our Security+ Certification Prep Course provides the basic knowledge needed to
plan, implement, and maintain information security in a vendor-neutral format. This includes risk management, host and network security, authentication and access control systems, cryptography, and organizational security. This course maps to the CompTIA Security+ certification exam (SY0-701). Objective coverage is marked throughout the course.

This course includes an exam voucher.

WHAT IS SECURITY+ CERTIFICATION?

The Security+ certification is considered to be the minimum level of certification for all IT security positions beyond entry-level. This course delivers the core knowledge required to pass the exam and the skills necessary to advance to an intermediate-level security job.

Students will benefit most from this course if they intend to take the CompTIA Security+ SY0-601 exam.

This course supports a certification that is a DoD Approved 8570 Baseline Certification and meets DoD 8140/8570 training requirements.

 

WHO NEEDS TO ATTEND?

• Network Administrators
• Cybersecurity Associates
• IT personnel interested in pursuing a career in cybersecurity
Prerequisites

This course assumes basic knowledge of using and maintaining individual workstations.

Attendees should be CompTIA A+ certified (or have equivalent experience) and CompTIA Network+ certified (or have equivalent experience) with 2-3 years networking experience.
