Introduction
CompTIA Security+ validates knowledge of communication security, infrastructure security, cryptography, operational security, and general security concepts. It is an international, vendor-neutral certification that is taught at colleges, universities and commercial training centers around the world. Although not a prerequisite, it is recommended that CompTIA Security+ candidates have at least two years on-the-job networking experience, with an emphasis on security. The CompTIA Network+ certification is also recommended.
Important Changes
CompTIA is transitioning from a lifetime certification policy to one that requires continuing education or recertification.
IT personnel who earn CompTIA A+, CompTIA Network+, or CompTIA Security+ certification on or after January 1, 2011, will require continuing education credits to maintain their certifications.
CompTIA is making this change to maintain ISO 17024 accreditation for those three certifications. ISO accreditation is extremely important because of its global credibility.
Audience
The audience for this course is typically an Information Technology (IT) professional who has networking and administrative skills in Windows-based TCP/IP networks and familiarity with other operating systems, such as NetWare, Macintosh, UNIX/Linux, and OS/2. The learner will want to acquire a foundational knowledge of security topics; prepare for the CompTIA Security+ Certification examination; or use Security+ as the foundation for advanced security certifications or career roles.
