CompTIA Security+ Online (E-learning)

Take on security responsibilities with confidence.

Course Overview

Security+ is the certificate employers ask for when they hand someone security duties for the first time. You'll learn how attacks happen, how to design systems that resist them, how to run security day to day and how governance and risk fit around it all. It takes 7 modules and about 30 hours of study. We'd do Network+ first; Security+ assumes you understand how networks behave. The exam isn't easy (750 out of 900 to pass, with performance-based questions alongside multiple choice), so plan on 4 to 8 weeks.

IT staff picking up security work, junior security analysts, system administrators and career changers into cyber.
