This course is intended for students wishing to prepare for the CompTIA Security+ Certification Exam. The qualification is aimed primarily at networking professionals, but because security is vital to all levels and job roles within an organization, it will also benefit PC support analysts, application developers and senior managers in accounting, sales, product development and marketing.

Upon successful completion of this course, students will learn to:

• Identify the fundamental concepts of computer security
• Identify security threats and vulnerabilities
• Manage data, application, and host security
• Implement network security
• Identify and implement access control and account management security measures
• Manage certificates
• Identify and implement compliance and operational security measures
• Manage risk
• Troubleshoot and manage security incidents
• Plan for business continuity and disaster recovery

Prerequisites

None, but CompTIA A+ and Network+ certifications, or equivalent knowledge, and six to nine months’ experience in networking, including configuring security parameters, are strongly recommended.
