CompTIA Security+ Certification (Exam SY0-601)
CompTIA Security+ training from NHDOD provides an excellent introduction to the security field and is typically a better entry point than jumping right into an advanced security program. With Security+, you’ll build a solid foundation of knowledge that you can build upon—helping you advance your career in the months and years to come. Whether your goal is to become Security+ certified for your job, to prove your basic knowledge of security concepts or to gain more knowledge to secure your network, expert training from New Horizons is the perfect solution. Security+ certification candidates must pass one exam. Although not required, it is strongly recommended that candidates possess their A+ and Network+ Certifications.
In this course you will:
- Prepare for the CompTIA Security+ exam
- Confidently explain and define an array of security vulnerabilities
- Navigate the complexities of secure system and network design
- Explore the defensive measures like PKI, firewalls and IDS
- Implement robust identity management and access control
