This course is ideal for IT professionals, network administrators, or individuals looking to pursue a career in cybersecurity. Whether you're just starting out in your career or looking to advance your current knowledge, this course will prepare you for the CompTIA Security+ and CySA+ exams.
CompTIA Security+ is a globally recognized certification that validates your foundational knowledge of cybersecurity concepts. It’s often a requirement for entry-level security roles such as Security Administrator, Systems Administrator, and IT Auditor. Earning this certification demonstrates to employers that you have the skills necessary to secure networks and manage security risks.
CompTIA CySA+ is designed for IT professionals looking to advance in cybersecurity. This certification focuses on threat detection, response, and vulnerability management. With this certification, you can pursue roles like Security Analyst, Threat Hunter, or Incident Responder. It’s especially valuable for professionals aiming to work in a Security Operations Center (SOC) or perform more advanced cybersecurity tasks.
Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:
The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Certificate, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile. If you only want to read and view the course content, you can audit the course for free.
