Security+ Preparation

This introduction to security systems gives students a solid foundation in different computer security concepts, functions, and applications. The course maps to the Computing Technology Industry Association's (CompTIA) Security+ exam, which covers general security concepts, communication security, infrastructure security, basics of cryptography, and operations/organizational security. Upon completion of this course, students will be prepared to take CompTIA's vendor-neutral Security+ exam. Security+ certification is globally recognized as equivalent to an entry-level security specialist and is accepted as one of the security certification exams by Microsoft toward its MCSA and MSCE certifications (CyberWatch common course equivalent: CW 160).
