The CompTIA Security+ Course covers the Latest 2008 Security+ Certification syllabus.
The certification validates knowledge of communication security, infrastructure security, cryptography, operational security, and general security concepts. It is an international, vendor-neutral certification that is taught around the world. Although not a prerequisite, it is recommended that students have the CompTIA Network+ certification.
Security threats are increasing in number and severity, and the gap between the need for security professionals and qualified IT personnel is the largest of any IT specialty, according to a 2008 CompTIA study. Even in a troubled economy, most businesses plan to maintain or increase their investment in security.
CompTIA Security+ is an international, vendor-neutral certification that proves competency in system security, network infrastructure, access control and organisational security.
Major organisations that employ CompTIA Security+ certified staff include Booz Allen Hamilton, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Motorola, Symantec, Telstra, Hitachi, Ricoh, Lockheed Martin, Unisys, Hilton Hotels Corp., General Mills, the U.S. Navy, Army, Air Force and Marines.
There are more than 10,000 CompTIA Security+ certified professionals worldwide. CompTIA Security+ is an elective or prerequisite to advanced security certifications. The objectives of CompTIA Security+ were derived through input from industry, government and academia, a job task analysis, a survey of more than 1,100 subject matter experts and a beta exam with responses from subject matter experts around the globe.
The Security+ Certification course consists of the following items:
- Security+ Certification Course Book
The Security+ Certification course teaches material that maps to all skill and knowledge objectives for the CompTIA Security+ certification exam (SY0-201).
After completing the course book, students will understand the field of network security and how it relates to other areas of information technology. This course also provides the broad-based knowledge necessary to prepare for further study in specialized security fields, or it can serve as a capstone course that gives a general introduction to the field.
The following units are covered in the course books: Mitigating Threats; Cryptography; Authentication Systems; Messaging Security; User & Role Based Security; Public Key Infrastructure; Access Security; Ports & Protocols; Network Security; Wireless Security; Remote Access Security; Auditing, logging & Monitoring; Vulnerability Testing; Organisational Security; Business Continuity; and Examination Objectives.
| PLEASE NOTE: The Security+ Certification Course is designed as a theory-based course but does contain all relevant information on how to complete practical exercises. The course books that we use are Official CompTIA Press Course materials. |
