SYNOPSIS
CompTIA’s Security+ certification is aimed at IT
professionals who have two years on-the-job networking experience, with an
emphasis on security. The Security+, exam code SY0–101, was
introduced in December 2002. It is an entry-level, vendor-neutral certification
which makes a great stepping stone to more advanced certifications, such as the
ISC2 SSCP and CISSP, and the SANS GIAC. It also may be used in some Microsoft certification
tracks.
This certification is well suited to network and
security administrators independent of what industry they work in. The
Security+ designation is achieved by passing one conventional format exam that
covers topics such as communication security, infrastructure security,
cryptography, access control, authentication, external attack and operational
and organization security. The Security+ certification thus demonstrates the
candidate’s knowledge of information security and will help equip the candidate
with the skills necessary to withstand hackers and decrease costs associated
with security breaches. Like other CompTIA offerings, once a person achieves
the Security+, the certification will not expire. Helpful:Compare Security+ with other certifications Search:Find Articles for Security+
