CompTIA Security+

Overview

The CompTIA Security+ certification is an internationally recognised, vendor-neutral certification that teaches security topics, such as communication security, infrastructure security, cryptography, access control, authentication, external attack and operational and organisation security. This certification is relevant for people responsible for securing network services, network devices and network traffic. In this course, you will implement and monitor security on networks, applications, and operating systems, and respond to security breaches. The Security+ certification may be used to qualify as an elective for Microsoft’s MCSA and MCSE certifications.

To help prepare for the exams, we provide you with all the required resources including the online self-paced courses, access to an Exam Coach to help plan your study and answer course related questions, access to live servers to practice your skills, and an online reference library of eBooks and how-to articles.
