CompTIA Security + Certification Details

CompTIA Security +

CompTIA Security+ training and certification is aimed towards delivering the core knowledge required of any cybersecurity role and provides a springboard to intermediate-level cybersecurity jobs. Security+ training subsumes best practices in hands-on trouble-shooting to make sure that security professionals have practical security problem-solving skills. Cybersecurity professionals with Security+ are enlightened about how to address security incidents and not just identify them. Security+ is compliant with ISO 17024 standards and approved by the US DoD to meet directive 8140/8570.01-M requirements. CompTIA Security+ training also helps you in gaining skills you’ll be needing to install and configure systems to secure applications, networks, and devices; perform threat analysis and respond with appropriate mitigation techniques; participate in risk mitigation activities; and operate with an awareness of applicable policies, and laws.

Overview

CompTIA's vendor-neutral certification program is one of the best recognized in the IT industry. Since CompTIA developed its A+ credential in 1993, it has issued more than two million certifications. In early 2018, CompTIA introduced its CompTIA Infrastructure Career Pathway. While you'll still see the same familiar certifications that form the bedrock of the CompTIA certification portfolio, this new career pathway program more closely aligns CompTIA certifications to the real-world skills that IT professionals need to ensure success when managing and supporting IT infrastructures.
