Security+

Security+ is one of the most valuable certifications in the industry, and with cyber threats increasing every day, cybersecurity professionals are in high demand.

Covering all of the CompTIA® Security+ exam objectives, this course provides a foundational knowledge of protecting network services, devices, traffic, and data. Students learn about network security, compliance and operating security, threats and vulnerabilities, as well as application, data, host security, access control, identity management, and cryptography. Completers are encouraged to sit for the CompTIA® Security+ certification exam.

CompTIA® Security+ certification is often considered a requirement for entry-level and advanced career placement. It is DoD 8570-M approved and required to work for a government agency. Earning a CompTIA® Security+ certification is a good way to quickly enter the IT field.
