CompTIA Security+

CompTIA Security+ is a global certification that validates the baseline skills necessary to perform core security functions and is the first security certification you should earn. CompTIA Security+ equips you with the foundational security skills necessary to safeguard networks, detect threats, and secure data—helping you open the door to your cybersecurity career and become a trusted defender of digital environments. 

This course establishes the core knowledge required to pass the exam and the skills required of any cybersecurity role and provides a jump-start to advance in an intermediate-level cybersecurity job.

What is Security+ Certification?

It is considered to be the minimum level of certification for all IT security positions beyond entry-level. 

Prepare for the CompTIA Security+ SY0-701 certification while building your cybersecurity knowledge, skills, and abilities.
