Presentation
As organisations face cyberattacks, infrastructure security is a major concern across every sector. For IT professionals, developing cybersecurity skills is becoming essential to starting or advancing a career. Increasing numbers of businesses recruit security administrators and IT auditors to secure their information systems, applications and hardware.
Our CompTIA S+ course provides cybersecurity knowledge and practical skills. Over 5 days, you will learn business IT security fundamentals. You will cover threats, attacks and vulnerabilities, cryptography, secure network architecture and more. You will also explore compliance standards and best practices in risk management and data security.
By the end of this intensive course, you will also be prepared for the CompTIA SY0-701 exam, included in our offer. This exam is a prerequisite for earning CompTIA Security+ certification (see the Certification tab for details).
Objectives
By the end of the CompTIA Security+ course, you will be able to:
- establish a threat model to protect a business's network access points and IT services;
- administer an intrusion detection system (IDS) to detect attacks against a network or IT infrastructure;
- implement network security by creating and configuring a bastion host;
- create and configure an access control list (ACL);
- establish firewall services with custom rules using stateful packet filtering and device filtering;
- identify network ports and the hacking tools most commonly used by hackers;
- perform port scanning and use it appropriately to protect an information system;
- monitor and identify attacks and vulnerabilities to mitigate them before they affect an information system;
- understand secure virtualisation, secure application deployment and automation concepts;
- characterise, recommend and apply the most appropriate business security solutions;
- understand IT security laws and policies;
- identify, examine and respond to security events and incidents;
- take the CompTIA S+ SY0-701 exam and earn certification.
