5 -day course
Learn security fundamentals as you build, test, and deploy a secure network.
Course Description
In this intense, hands-on course, you will not only prepare for the Security+ certification, but you will also gain the foundation security knowledge to protect your network from attack. Through real-world examples and labs, you will learn how to apply security best practices to actual security architectures. You will spend 50% of your time applying security principles to meet actual security scenario requirements. Labs reinforce vital security concepts and provide real-world practice using tools such as Tenable Security Nessus, Snort, Symantec Enterprise Firewall, and Funk Software's Steel-Belted Radius.
This course includes 1-year access to our 50-book Online Security Reference Library with titles specially selected to reinforce course concepts.
Preparing for your certification exams? To help, this course includes a Security+ study guide, certification practice exam, and test voucher, as well as our security Self-Paced e-Learning course.
