The Security + certification shows the experience of an IT security expert in topics such as system security, risk management, network infrastructure, access control and corporate security.
Security threats are growing exponentially in number and severity, and the skills gap between jobs in information security and skilled IT security personnel is one of the largest of all technical specialties. In addition, numerous wage studies and surveys have shown that even in a difficult economic environment, most companies plan to maintain or increase their spending on cybersecurity personnel, and it is no wonder that Security + is one of the most requested certifications by CompTIA.
