Security+ Certification

Network security is a major issue for all companies today, be they large or small. Organizations are at increased risk of cyber crimes and other forms of security-related threats. A big concern for large companies like Motorola, Microsoft, IBM & SUN is the lack of qualified security practitioners available.  Bill Boni, CEO of Motorola, says that we need to close the emerging gap.  “Creating a global-standard of security competence is in everyone's interest, large companies and small. This is not simply about business. It is in society's interest as well. That is why we are seeing such a strong commitment to Security+ from departments within the government."  The Security+ certification will help network administrators to become qualified with these next generation corporate security risks.

The new CompTIA Security+ certification is targeted at network administration professionals with at least two years of experience and who possess a thorough knowledge of TCP/IP. Those holding the Security+ certification have demonstrated the aptitude and ability to master such knowledge areas as: general security concepts, communications security, infrastructure security, basics of cryptography, and operational/organizational security.
