  • Security Engineer

 

To achieve Security+ certification candidates must pass the authorized exam. You can prepare for the exam by attending the training listed below.

Security+ Recertification | CompTIA CE Program

CompTIA Security+ has globally-recognized ISO/ANSI accreditation status. As part of the accreditation requirements, this certification expires every three years if not renewed. You can renew certification through the CompTIA CE Program which includes completing continuing education activities. Review CompTIA Continuing Education (CE) Program requirements and approved courses click link. Note, if your certification is not renewed within the three years allowance it will expire and you will need to pass the current version of the exam to regain CompTIA Security+ certification.

Next Step after the Security+ Course and Exam

Once you've earned Security+ certification, expand your abilities in the field of IT cybersecurity with CompTIA CySA+ Certification click link for defensive skills, or CompTIA PenTest+ click link for offensive skills. Although the two certifications teach skills from opposing sides, they are dependent on one another and the most qualified cybersecurity professionals will have both offensive and defensive skills. These intermediate-level certifications help bridge the skills gap between CompTIA Security+ and CompTIA Advanced Security Practitioner (CASP+) to create a vendor-neutral security certification path.
