CompTIA Security+ is a globally trusted, vendor-neutral certification that demonstrates competency in network security, compliance and operational security, threats and vulnerabilities, application, data and host security, access control and identity management, as well as cryptography. CompTIA Security+ not only ensures that candidates will apply knowledge of security concepts, tools, and procedures to react to security incidents, it ensures that security personnel are anticipating security risks and guarding against them. The skills covered in the CompTIA Security+ Exam Prep have become a baseline for all cybersecurity jobs and the new version has been updated to reflect how cybersecurity jobs are becoming more specialized, like security analytics.
