CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) - Domain 1 - General Security Concepts
What you'll learn
Identify and assess risks to information assets and implement appropriate risk management strategies.
Implement access control models and manage user identities and access privileges.
Implement physical security measures to safeguard information systems.
Understand basic network security concepts and implement secure network designs.
Requirements
While not mandatory, having CompTIA A+ and Network+ certifications or equivalent knowledge is beneficial. These certifications provide a solid foundation in general IT and networking concepts that are built upon in the Security+ certification.
Description
This course provides a comprehensive introduction to the fundamental concepts and principles of cybersecurity. As the foundational domain of the CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) certification, Domain 1 focuses on establishing a solid understanding of general security concepts that are critical for protecting an organization's information systems. Students will learn the basics of security, including risk management, security policies, access control, and cryptography, equipping them with the knowledge needed to implement and maintain effective security measures.
