CompTIA Network+ N10-007 has been updated and reorganised to address the current networking technologies with expanded coverage of several domains by adding:

• Critical security concepts helping networking professionals work with security practitioners
• Key cloud computing best practices and typical service models
• Coverage of newer hardware and virtualisation techniques
• Concepts to give individuals the combination of skills to keep the network resilient

The CompTIA Network+ certification is a worldwide recognised qualification that validates the skills of networking professionals. The qualification recognises a technician's ability to describe the features and functions of network components and to manage, maintain, troubleshoot, install, operate and configure basic network infrastructure.

This certification will verify that the successful candidate has the knowledge and skills required to implement a defined network architecture with basic network security. Furthermore, a successful candidate will be able to configure, maintain, and troubleshoot network devices using appropriate network tools and understand the features and purpose of network technologies. Candidates will be able to make basic solution recommendations, analyse network traffic, and be familiar with common protocols and media types.

CompTIA Network+ helps develop a career in IT infrastructure covering troubleshooting, configuring, and managing networks

CompTIA Security+ is the first security certification I.T. professionals should earn. It establishes the core knowledge required of any Cyber Security role and provides a springboard to intermediate level Cyber Security jobs. Security+ incorporates best practices and hands-on trouble shooting to ensure security professionals have practical security problem solving skills. Cyber Security professionals with Security+ know how to address security incidents, not just identify them.

Security+ is compliant with ISO 17024 standards and approved by the US DoD to meet directive 8140/8570.01-M requirements.

• Identify strategies developed by cyber adversaries to attack networks and hosts and the countermeasures deployed to defend them
• Understand the principles of organisational security and the elements of effective security policies
• Know the technologies and uses of cryptographic standards and products
• Install and configure network and host-based security technologies
• Describe how wireless and remote access security is enforced
• Describe the standards and products used to enforce security on web and communications technologies
• Identify strategies for ensuring business continuity, fault tolerance, and disaster recovery
• Summarise application and coding vulnerabilities and identify development and deployment methods designed to mitigate them
