CompTIA Security+ SY0-601
CompTIA Security+
What is it?
CompTIA Security+ is a global certification that validates the baseline skills you need to perform core security functions and pursue an IT security career.
Why is it different?
• More choose Security+ – chosen by more corporations and defense organizations than any other
certification on the market to validate core security skills and for fulfilling DoD 8570 compliance.
• Security+ proves hands-on skills – the only baseline cybersecurity certification emphasizing
vendor-neutral, hands-on practical skills, ensuring the security professional is better prepared
to problem solve a wider variety of today’s complex issues.
• More job roles turn to Security+ to supplement skills – baseline cybersecurity skills are applicable
across more of today’s job roles to secure systems, software and hardware.
• Security+ is aligned to the latest trends and techniques – covering the most core technical
skills in risk assessment and management, incident response, forensics, enterprise networks,
hybrid/cloud operations, and security controls, ensuring high-performance on the job.
About the exam
CompTIA Security+ is the first security certification a candidate should earn. It establishes the core
knowledge required of any cybersecurity role and provides a springboard to intermediate-level
cybersecurity jobs. Security+ incorporates best practices in hands-on troubleshooting, ensuring
candidates have practical security problem-solving skills required to:
• Assess the security posture of an enterprise environment and recommend and implement
appropriate security solutions
• Monitor and secure hybrid environments, including cloud, mobile, and IoT
• Operate with an awareness of applicable laws and policies, including principles of governance,
risk, and compliance
• Identify, analyze, and respond to security events and incidents
Security+ is compliant with ISO 17024 standards and approved by the US DoD to meet directive
8140/8570.01-M requirements.
