This course focuses on developing skills needed to securely establish, maintain and troubleshoot business networks. It prepares you to perform tasks commonly used by IT security professionals, such as network and systems administrators and IT security specialists.

You will learn about the latest security tools and techniques and develop knowledge and skills to assess the security of an organization, monitor and secure cloud, mobile, and internet of things (IoT) environments. You will learn about laws and regulations related to risk and compliance, and identify and respond to security incidents.

After successful completion of this course, you will complete a competency assessment that will prepare you for the CompTIA Security+ certification exam.

Passing the certification exam means you can implement layered security through group policy objects, access control lists, wireless and wired local area network security measures and workstation and mobile device security measures.

Computer Security 30L will prepare you for the certification exam but does not automatically confer industry-recognized certification. To obtain CompTIA Security+ certification, you will need to purchase an exam voucher from the CompTIA store.
