Be a Computer Security Professional
CompTIA Security+ certification designates knowledgeable professionals in the field of security, one of the fastest-growing fields in IT. CompTIA Security+ is an international, vendor-neutral certification that demonstrates competency in Network Security, Compliance and Operational Security, Threats and Vulnerabilities, Application, Data and Host Security, Access Control and Identity Management Cryptography.
The US DoD 8570 directive has approved the Security+ as a baseline certification for employees working in cyber security or information assurance, which means that the Department of Defense recognizes the validity and value of the CompTIA Security+ certification and in fact requires it for certain positions.
Having a government recognized and approved certification is beneficial for anyone looking for a career in cyber security.
A great benefit of the Security+, and most other CompTIA certifications like A+ and N+, is that there is no prerequisite experience or training involved. You can go and sit for the exam tomorrow if you want. So no prior experience is required, passing on exam means you are certified and it is the most affordable certification in the cyber industry!
