CompTIA’s Security+ certification is a widely recognized, industry-standard certification aimed at entry-level Cyber Security practitioners. This certification and learning path starts by introducing general Cyber Security topics and terms to get you familiar with fundamental security concepts. From there, we go into various types of threats and vulnerabilities that security administrators are responsible for analyzing and mitigating. In addition, you’ll learn how to properly architect a typical security infrastructure, including options for different security controls to better protect an organization’s systems, infrastructure, and data. Alongside that knowledge, you’ll also learn how to manage security controls, detect and manage vulnerabilities, and how to respond to an incident once it occurs. To wrap everything up, we’ll take a look at risk management and compliance topics, including third-party assessments and audits. The Security+ learning path is broken down according to the published Domains and Objectives from CompTIA. After completing this learning path, you’ll be armed with the knowledge to not only get started as a security administrator but also to successfully pass the Security+ exam.
