Launch Your Cybersecurity Career
The CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) is the world’s most recognized and widely adopted entry-level cybersecurity certification. It validates that the holder possesses the foundational knowledge and hands-on skills required to assess organizational security, implement protective measures, monitor and secure hybrid environments, operate with an awareness of applicable laws and policies, and identify, analyze, and respond to security incidents — making them job-ready from day one.
Security+ is globally trusted, vendor-neutral, ISO/ANSI accredited, and meets U.S. Department of Defense (DoD 8570/8140) directive requirements. It is frequently mandated or preferred by government agencies, defense contractors, and private-sector employers worldwide, establishing it as the industry-standard credential for launching a successful career in cybersecurity.
Whether you're transitioning from IT support (like A+), coming from the military, or just starting your tech journey, Security+ opens doors to high-demand cybersecurity roles. One of the key focus areas of the SY0-701 exam is the ability to assess the security posture of an enterprise environment, implement appropriate security solutions, monitor and secure hybrid environments (cloud, mobile, and IoT), and respond effectively to security incidents. Learning cybersecurity fundamentals is a life skill that pays dividends in today’s digital world. As this section continues to grow, more in-depth guides, labs, and tools will be added.
