Ascend Education's CompTIA Security+ course maps to the CompTIA Security+ SY0-701 certification exam.

CompTIA Security+ is recognized as the introduction to network security industry standard, and the first step into a cybersecurity career. This course covers foundational network security skills in risk assessment and management, forensics, security controls, and more. The student’s goal will be to learn core knowledge and skills required to assess the state of security in an enterprise environment and recommend and implement security solutions.
