The CompTIA Security+ course is the bridge between CompTIA’s core certifications and the specialised Cyber Security certifications. This course will assess your baseline cybersecurity skills and act as a springboard to the intermediate-level cybersecurity jobs. Security+ will teach you how to detect various types of compromises; understand penetration testing and vulnerability scanning concepts; install, configure and deploy network components while assessing and troubleshooting issues; implement secure network architecture concepts and systems design; implement and summarise risk management practices; install and configure wireless security settings and implement public key infrastructure.

The CompTIA Security+ certification ensures cybersecurity professionals know how to address security incidents and not just identify them.

The CompTIA PenTest+ is the only certification that teaches professionals the knowledge and practical ability to test devices in new environments such as the cloud and mobile, in addition to traditional desktops and servers. The course will teach you how to gather information to prepare for exploitation, perform vulnerability scans and analyse the results; exploit network, wireless, application and RF-based vulnerabilities, summarise physical security attacks and perform post-exploitation techniques; conduct information gathering exercises with various tools and analyse output and basic scripts such as Bash, Python, Ruby and PowerShell. You will also learn how to utilise report writing and handle best practices explaining recommended mitigation strategies for discovered vulnerabilities.
