About This Course
Course Description
CompTIA Security+ is a global certification that validates the baseline skills necessary to perform core security functions and is the first security certification a candidate should earn. Security+ establishes the core knowledge required of any cybersecurity role and provides a springboard to intermediate-level cybersecurity jobs.
Security+ incorporates best practices in hands-on troubleshooting, ensuring candidates have practical security problem-solving skills required to:
- Assess the security posture of an enterprise environment and recommend and implement appropriate security solutions;
- Monitor and secure hybrid environments, including cloud, mobile, and IoT;
- Operate with an awareness of applicable laws and policies, including principles of governance, risk, and compliance;
- Identify, analyze, and respond to security events and incidents.
CompTIA Security+ is compliant with ISO 17024 standards and approved by the U.S. DoD to meet Directive 8140.03M requirements. Security+ also maps to the core objectives required for 20 NICE work roles.
Security+ is good for three years from the day of achievement, and the CompTIA Continuing Education program enables Security+ credentialed individuals to extend their certification in three-year intervals.
