CompTIA Network+ Certification AND
Security+ Certification courses or equivalent knowledge.
Minimum of 4 years of hands-on experience as an incident response analyst or security operations center (SOC) analyst, or equivalent experience.
Specifically, it is recommended that you have the following skills and knowledge before starting this course:
◾ Know basic network terminology and functions (such as OSI Model, Topology, Ethernet, WiFi, switches, routers).
◾ Understand TCP/IP addressing, core protocols, and troubleshooting tools.

Additional Notes Regarding CompTIA Certification Exams
As with most professional IT certifications, many additional hours of study are required before the class (meeting the prerequisites) and after the class (reviewing exam objectives and practice questions). Expect to spend a significant number of hours studying before you take a CompTIA or any other IT professional exam.
CompTIA certification exams are very rigorous and challenging. By studying using the practice exams, you will greatly improve your chances of passing the actual certification exam the first time.
