CompTIA Security+

This 5 day instructor-led CompTIA® Security+® (Exam SY0-501) is the primary course you will need to take if your job responsibilities include securing network services, devices, and traffic in your organization. You can also take this course to prepare for the CompTIA Security+ certification examination. In this course, you will build on your knowledge of and professional experience with security fundamentals, networks, and organizational security as you acquire the specific skills required to implement basic security services on any type of computer network.

This course can benefit you in two ways. If you intend to pass the CompTIA Security+ (Exam SY0-501) certification examination, this course can be a significant part of your preparation. But certification is not the only key to professional success in the field of computer security. Today’s job market demands individuals with demonstrable skills, and the information and activities in this course can help you build your computer security skill set so that you can confidently perform your duties in any security-related role.

Security+ Course Objectives:

In this course, you will implement, monitor, and troubleshoot infrastructure, application, information, and operational security.

On course completion, you will be able to:

• Identify strategies developed by cyber adversaries to attack networks and hosts and the countermeasures deployed to defend them.
• Understand the principles of organizational security and the elements of effective security policies.
• Know the technologies and uses of cryptographic standards and products.

• Install and configure network- and host-based security technologies.
• Describe how wireless and remote access security is enforced.
• Describe the standards and products used to enforce security on web and communications technologies.
• Identify strategies for ensuring business continuity, fault tolerance, and disaster recovery.
• Summarize application and coding vulnerabilities and identify development and deployment methods designed to mitigate them.
