What Is CompTIA Security+?

Cybersecurity threats are growing in both frequency and sophistication, and businesses of all sizes need a strong first line of defense.

CompTIA Security+ is an entry-level cybersecurity certification designed to validate baseline skills in IT security. It covers the foundational knowledge needed to secure networks, identify threats, and respond effectively to incidents.

Security+ certification spans six key domains:

1. Attacks, Threats, and Vulnerabilities
2. Architecture and Design
3. Implementation
4. Operations and Incident Response
5. Governance, Risk, and Compliance
6. Cryptography and PKI

This broad focus ensures Security+ certified professionals have a well-rounded understanding of cybersecurity challenges.
