COURSE INTRODUCTION


Newly updated and Just Released!

Schedule our instructor led classroom training at your convenience and never miss another lecture or fall behind. You are in complete control. We invited the Best CompTIA Security+ Certified Trainers in the industry to help us develop the ultimate training and certification program which includes everything you will need to fully prepare for and pass the most recent certification exam.

The CompTIA Security+ 2008 certification establishes knowledgeable professionals in the field of corporate security, one of the fastest-growing fields in IT. Even in a troubled economy, most businesses plan to at least maintain or optimally increase their investment in IT security. CompTIA Security+ is an international, vendor-neutral certification that demonstrates competency in network infrastructure, system security, organizational security and access control. Major organizations that enlist CompTIA Security+ certified professionals include Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Motorola, Hilton Hotels Corp., General Mills, Symantec, Lockheed Martin, Unisys, Hitachi, Ricoh, the U.S. Navy, Army, Air Force and Marines.

Although not a prerequisite, it is recommended that CompTIA Security+ candidates have at least two years of technical networking experience, with an emphasis on security. The CompTIA Network+ certification is also recommended.

For IT professionals requiring re-certification:
The newest version of CompTIA Security+ certification exams was launched in late 2008. IT professionals who would like to to remain current on their certifications have two options: They can take the new version, or they can take the CompTIA Security+ bridge exam, which covers the new objectives. Only professionals who are currently CompTIA Security+ certified under 2002 exam objectives are eligible to become CompTIA Security+ 2008 certified by taking the bridge exam.

"Security threats are increasing in number and severity, and the gap
between the need for security professionals and qualified IT personnel
is the largest of any IT specialty."
