Abstract
CompTIA’s Security+ is a widely respected introduction to security certification that most entry and mid-level IT workers and security personnel should obtain. Security+ establishes a standardized knowledge base of terms and concepts that anyone pursuing a security career needs to master. Security+ builds on knowledge obtained through hands-on experience, having earned the Network+ certification, or achieved through directed and focused learning, whether self-study or instructor led.
The Security+ certification is a common component of a cybersecurity professional’s resume, which would leave a gap if it is not present. According to IT Skills and Salary Report, it’s one of the most popular cybersecurity certifications. Security+ may be challenging to achieve if you’re new to the security field, but the knowledge obtained through preparing to pass the Security+ exam will be integral to a long-term career.
