Description
IT security is one of the most important things to an organisation, especially when technology and the potential threats to it are continuously evolving. It’s essential that any business or organisation can transmit and store data securely, and it’s IT security professionals that can help things run smoothly. A CompTIA Security+ certificate is a smart move for anyone looking for new opportunities or an IT security career, and this course and exam package is a flexible, convenient and good value way to help you achieve these goals.
What Will I Learn?
This course will enable an IT security professional to identify risk, join in with or run risk mitigation activities, and provide a range of services in the security field. This includes providing infrastructure, information, operational and application security. On completion of the course, and when you’re ready, you’ll take the included CompTIA Security+ exam (SYO-401), which covers foundation principles in securing a network, risk management, access control, identity management and cryptography.
Why Should I Invest?
CompTIA Security+ will give you an internationally recognised credential, and it could prove a valuable investment as you seek to take the next step in your IT career. This course is ideal for anyone that already holds CompTIA certification in other areas, and with the broader skillset that you’ll gain from this course, comes a wider range of job opportunities. Course leaders suggest you already hold the CompTIA Network+ certification and have two years of IT admin experience with a security focus, before taking the Security+ exam.
