What is CompTIA Security+?
CompTIA's Security+ was developed with input from the tech industry, government, academia, and front-line practitioners. It's vendor-neutral, which means you can apply it across multiple technologies and platforms. Widely recognised and respected, Security+ is an ideal addition to your CV, especially if you're starting out.
CompTIA Security+ helps you develop the skills you need to operate within Cyber Security policies, laws, and regulations and identify and mitigate Cyber Security risks, ensuring that your company's infrastructure, applications, and operations are secure at all times.
