CompTIA Security+ is a “vendor-neutral”
certification. As such, it validates security
skills across a broad security spectrum
that is applicable in a variety of network
configurations, rather than a restricted
environment. CompTIA Security+ certifies
two years of hands-on network security
experience, making it a useful discriminator
for compliance and staffing purposes.
Security affects all areas of business, not
just the IT department. In addition to a
loss of income and employee productivity,
a security breach can cost your business
its reputation. Implementing security
training and certification improves the
likelihood that your staff will respond
quickly to security issues and practice
better security procedures.
CompTIA Security+ certification validates
experienced technical knowledge of
security as it relates to systems security,
access control, network infrastructure,
assessments and audits, cryptography
and organisational security across all
vendor products.
Earning CompTIA Security+ measures
the ability to apply knowledge of security
concepts and implementation in today’s
security environment. These skills have
become increasingly important, as
additional safeguards such as intrusion
detection systems, physical access
control and multi-factor authentication
become standard methods of protection.
Those who successfully complete the
programme will be trained to a level
where they are thoroughly prepared to
take the CompTIA Security+ certification.
The course will achieve its aim by
transferring knowledge and skills to the
participants in a dynamic and exciting
way, making the best use of instructorled
tuition, practical skills sessions,
project work and the most up-to-date
on-line learning materials.
