Most businesses regard
enhancing enterprise network security as a strategic
priority. The Security+ and SCP Program are the ideal
next steps for IT professionals to add security skills
that are increasingly valued by
employers.
Security+ from CompTIA
is a vendor-neutral baseline certification for
individuals entering the Information Security field. To
earn Security+ certification, IT professionals are
required to be proficient in a wide range of security
concepts, including access control, authentication, and
external attack. They must have also mastered such areas
as operational and organizational security and the
basics of cryptography. You will build on your knowledge
and professional experience with computer hardware,
operating systems, and networks as you acquire the
specific skills required to implement basic security
services on any type of computer network
SCP is a two-level
vendor-neutral security certification program. This
training will lead to a vendor neutral security
certification for IT professionals. The SCP structure is
unique in that it measures competence both in the core
skills that are broadly required for the roles of

skills in specific security technologies such as
firewalls, IDS, PKI, biometrics and forensics.
