Security+

The Comptia Security+(SY0-601). "A global certification that validates the baseline skills necessary to perform core security functions and pursue an IT security career."

I recommend Jason Dions course on Udemy. This course was updated in May of 2023.

Broken into 5 'Domains'

  • Domain 1 - Attacks, Threats, and Vulnerabilities - 24%

  • Domain 2 - Architecture and Design - 21%

  • Domain 3 - Implementation - 25%

  • Domain 4 - Operations and Incident Response - 16%

  • Domain 5 - Governance, Risk, and Compliance - 14%

Like most Comptia exams, you will have 165 min to answer up to 90 questions, can be 70-90. Questions are multiple choice, multiple select, and a small Performance Based Questions(Simulations) and drag and drop them in the proper order. Usually exams are: 3-5 Simulations, 80-85 multiple choice, but this can vary. You need 750 out of 900 points(80-85%) to pass.
