Updated CompTIA Security+ Focuses on Cybersecurity Risk | Today Latest CompTIA News

Since Security + was introduced in 2002, an international certificate that is neutral for sellers is updated every three years to maintain it - and IT benefits - relevant. The new Security + (SY0-501) certification deals with the latest trends in cyber-security.

The new version of Security + focuses more on practical skills and risk management, "said Patrick Lane, Product Development Director at CompTIA." Our exam reflects the current state of the cyber security and presents the core skills for cyber security that are needed today, such as risk reduction, risk management and intrusion detection. "

No pre-requisite is required to pass the Security + (SYO-501) exam, and candidates must be certified or have equivalent experience, and candidates must be at least two years in the IT administration, with emphasis on security and day-to-day security experience, proposed by the organization.

The exam requires extensive knowledge of security issues and implementation, including: risk assessment and risk reduction; provision of infrastructure, use, information and operational security; the use of security controls to maintain confidentiality, integrity and availability; identifying appropriate technologies and products; troubleshooting security incidents and incidents; and act with awareness of valid management policies, laws and regulations.

These are Examination Exam for Security +. With the latest security exam, about a quarter of the objectives changed in order to reflect the emphasis on risk management and practical skills.

"The fields of examinations have also been rearranged to follow better teaching," Lane said.

For example, this is the first domain of threats and vulnerabilities and begins with manual activities related to this exercise, i.e. A threat that can appear on the network and alleviate this threat.

CompTIA Security + is accredited by ANSI and complies with ISO / IEC 17024 for Personnel Approval Programs. The certificate also has the approval of the US Department of Defense for the 8140 / 8570.01M directive, which set the departmental policies for the workforce in cyberspace, including requirements for training and certification, said CompTIA.

The number of new IT experts who are certified with Security + is growing at a monthly level, said Lane. This is because Security + is the focal point of CompTIA's CyberSecurity Career Path, published in February by schools in North America and around the world.
