As an entry-level examination, the CompTIA Security+ certification is an approachable one for the beginning cybersecurity professional. The CompTIA organization recommends that candidates have a CompTIA Network+ certification and two years of experience in IT security, but don’t be intimidated if you’re not there yet. A number of individuals with minimal prior IT knowledge have passed the examination, given the completion of such thorough preparation courses as the Alpine Security’s Security+ bootcamp.
