Training Provided by American IT

This four-day instructor-led course provides students with the knowledge and skills to begin supporting network security within an organization. Students who complete this course will be able to identify security threats and vulnerabilities and help respond to and recover from security incidents.

This course will cover security concepts that are prerequisites for attending other Microsoft Official Curriculum (MOC) courses for security specialists and help prepare students for the CompTIA Security+ exam.

This course has been approved as CompTIA Authorized Quality Curriculum (CAQC) for the CompTIA Security+ certification. The CAQC program assures students that all test objectives for the CompTIA Security+ certification exam are covered in the course materials.

Although the course focuses on Microsoft product- and technology-specific implementation of security concepts many of these same concepts can be applied to other technologies.
