Overview

On this accelerated CompTIA Network Security Professional (CNSP) course, you'll learn how to troubleshoot security incidents, manage network vulnerabilities, and protect your business' applications and systems.

In just 9 days, you'll combine theory and practice from CompTIA Security+, Pentest+ and CySA+.

Through the CompTIA Security+, you'll learn about the infrastructure and operational security via building knowledge on risk analysis and mitigation.

You'll build on your security knowledge with Pentest+:

  • Developing up-to-date penetration testing skills
  • Customise assessment frameworks
  • Report penetration test findings
  • Communicate recommended strategies.

Through CySA+ you'll focus on how to configure threat detection tools, perform data analysis and interpret the results to identify vulnerabilities, threats and risks to an organisation.

At the end of your course, you'll sit exams SY0-401, CS1-001 and PTO-001, and achieve the Security+, Pentest+ and CySa+ certifications.

You'll get access to official courseware and learn from certified CompTIA instructors, as Firebrand are a CompTIA Platinum Partner.

Through Firebrand's Lecture | Lab | Review methodology, you'll become a CompTIA Network Security Professional at twice the speed and achieve CompTIA's Stackable Certification.


CompTIA's Stackable Certifications


The Stackable certifications act as a badge that identifies your achievement of multiple CompTIA certifications. The collection of these certifications prove you have the knowledge, competence and experience required for a specific role; in this case, a CompTIA Network Security Professional (CNSP).
