Intro to CompTIA Security+ Certification

The industry-wide benchmark of cybersecurity certifications, the CompTIA Security+ certification, covers six core fundamental security areas, including:

Threats, Attacks, and Vulnerabilities

Technologies and Tools

Architecture and Design

Identity and Access Management

Risk Management

Cryptography and PKI

Created by the leading computing technology association in the world, CompTIA, and accredited by ANSI in compliance with the ISO 17024 Standard, the Security+ certification is vendor-neutral, allowing candidates to focus on general security aspects rather than company-specific approaches. Because the test is so comprehensive and “flying by the seat of one’s pants” is not advised, individuals seeking Security+ certification are encouraged to review various study guides and video training materials to prepare thoroughly.
