Security+ SY0-501

The CompTIA Security+ certification stands out because it assess baseline cybersecurity knowledge and skills through performance-based questions. In other words, it is really difficult to pass the exam if you cannot actually perform the work. This is why employers and the DoD look to the Security+ certification as a standard for hiring and compliance.

More choose Security+ - chosen by more corporations and defense organizations than any other certification on the market to validate baseline security skills and for fulfilling the DoD 8570 compliance.

Security+ proves hands-on skills - the only baseline cybersecurity certification emphasizing hands-on practical skills, ensuring the security professional is better prepared to problem solve a wider variety of today's complex issues.

More job roles turn to Security+ to supplement skills - baseline cybersecurity skills are applicable across more of today's job roles to secure systems, software and hardware.

Security+ is aligned to the latest trends and techniques - covering the most core technical skills in risk assessment and management, incident response, forensics, enterprise networks, hybrid/cloud operations, and security controls, ensuring high-performance on the job.

Term Of The Day: Hacker
A hacker is a person who uses computer programming to overcome a problem or challenge within a computer system. While the term hacker often carries a negative connotation, not all hacking involves criminal or malicious activity. WHAT KINDS OF HACKERS ARE THERE? Some of the kinds of hackers include: Black hat hackers: Hackers are often most associated with black hat hackers, or cyber criminals who exploit weaknesses to illegally intrude into computer systems for money, revenge, or just for fun. White hat hackers: These hackers can use their skills to fix problems in a computer system or to help companies strengthen their IT systems by identifying potential weak spots in the security infrastructure. Gray hat hackers: While gray hat hackers have good intentions, they may not use lawful or ethical methods during the hacking process. The term hacker can have a negative connotation, as it is often associated with black hat hackers, or cyber criminals who illegally intrude into computer systems for money, revenge, or just for fun. While a black hat hacker exploits any potential weaknesses in the system to gain unethical or unlawful entry into the system, a white hat hacker can use similar skills with the intention of fixing a problem. White hat hackers also help companies strengthen their IT security systems by identifying potential weak spots in the security infrastructure. Another category of hackers includes gray hat hackers, who hack with positive intentions but not might use lawful or ethical means for the hacking process.
