CompTIA Security+ Certification (Exam SY0-701)

CompTIA Security+ is the most widely adopted ISO/ANSI-accredited early career cybersecurity certification on the market with hands-on, performance-based questions on the certification exam. These practical questions assess your ability to effectively problem solve in real-life situations and demonstrate your expertise to potential employers immediately. It establishes the core knowledge required of any cybersecurity role and provides a springboard to intermediate-level cybersecurity jobs. More job roles use Security+ for baseline cybersecurity skills than any other certification in the industry.

Security+ is the first early career cybersecurity certification a candidate should earn. It equips cybersecurity professionals with the foundational security skills necessary to safeguard networks, detect threats, and secure data through performance-based questions—helping them open the door to a cybersecurity career and become a trusted defender of digital environments. The CompTIA Security+ 701 exam verifies the candidate has the knowledge and skills required to:

• Assess the security posture of an enterprise environment and recommend and implement appropriate security solutions.
• Monitor and secure hybrid environments, including cloud, mobile, Internet of Things (IoT), and operational technology.
• Operate with an awareness of applicable regulations and policies, including principles of governance, risk, and compliance.
• Identify, analyze, and respond to security events and incidents.

CompTIA Security+ is compliant with ISO 17024 standards and approved by the U.S. DoD to meet Directive 8140.03M requirements. Security+ also maps to the core objectives required for 20 NICE work roles. Security+ is good for three years from the day of achievement, and the CompTIA Continuing Education program enables Security+ credentialed individuals to extend their certification in three-year intervals.
