CYFOSEC Academy
Employees can be the weakest entry point of any organization data and networks if they are not well trained and educated against sophisticated social engineering or phishing attacks. Cyfosec skills development, awareness workshops and professional training help to make your employees as the most effective security control.
Employers, from government to Fortune 500 companies, value CompTIA as an authority in cybersecurity certifications.
CompTIA certifications significantly help individuals build exceptional careers in information security and enable organizations to form a skilled and confident staff.
CompTIA IT Fundamentals+ (ITF+) is an introduction to basic IT knowledge and skills that helps professionals decide if a career in IT is right for them. It also helps organizations prepare non-technical teams for digital transformation . The CompTIA IT Fundamentals+ exam will certify the successful candidate has the knowledge and skills required to identify and explain the basics of computing, IT infrastructure, application and software, software development, database fundamentals, and security. In addition, candidates will have the ability to demonstrate their knowledge to:
• Install software
• Establish basic network connectivity
• Identify/prevent basic security risks
• Explain troubleshooting theory and preventative maintenance of devices
CompTIA A+ is the preferred performance-based qualifying credential for technical support and IT operational roles. A+ certified professionals identify issues and problem solve more effectively than those without certification. CompTIA A+ supports the ability to connect users to the data they need to do their jobs regardless of the devices being used. Successful candidates will have the following skills to:
• Confgure, install and upgrade operating systems, including: Windows, Apple OS X, Linux, iOS, Android, and Windows Mobile
• Install and image virtual machines
• Set up and troubleshoot peripheral devices
• Assemble and disassemble computing hardware
• Set up and support basic home and small offce networks
• Implement cybersecurity controls appropriate to help desk and technical support roles
• Troubleshoot and support end user access to applications and data
CompTIA Network+ validates the knowledge and skills needed to troubleshoot, configure, and manage wired and wireless networks found in companies around the world. Network+ certifies a professional-level understanding of emerging technologies including cloud and virtualization technologies. Network+ ensures an IT professional has the knowledge and skills to:
• Design and implement functional networks.
• Confgure, manage, and maintain essential network devices.
• Use devices such as switches and routers to segment network traffc and create resilient networks.
• Identify benefts and drawbacks of existing network confgurations.
• Implement network security, standards, and protocols.
• Troubleshoot network problems.
• Support the creation of virtualized networks.
FUNDAMENTAL PATHWAY
CYBER SECURITY PATHWAY
CompTIA Security+ is the first security certification IT professionals should earn. It establishes the core knowledge required of any cybersecurity role and provides a springboard to intermediate-level cybersecurity jobs. Security+ incorporates best practices in hands-on trouble-shooting to ensure security professionals have practical security problem-solving skills. Cybersecurity professionals with Security+ know how to address security incidents – not just identify them.
• Threats, Attacks and Vulnerabilities
• Technologies and Tools
• Architecture and Design
• Identity and Access Management
• Risk Management
• Cryptography and PKI
As attackers have learned to evade traditional signature-based solutions, such as firewalls, an analytics-based approach within the IT security industry is increasingly important for most organizations. The behavioral analytics skills covered by CySA+ identify and combat malware, and advanced persistent threats (APTs), resulting in enhanced threat visibility across a broad attack surface. CompTIA CySA+ is for IT professionals looking to gain the following security analyst skills:
• Perform data analysis and interpret the results to identify vulnerabilities, threats
and risks to an organization.
• Confgure and use threat-detection tools.
• Secure and protect applications and systems within an organization.
PenTest+ assesses the most up-to-date penetration testing, and vulnerability assessment and management skills necessary to determine the resiliency of the network against attacks. Successful candidates will also have the intermediate skills and best practices required to customize assessment frameworks to effectively collaborate on and report findings and communicate recommended strategies to improve the overall state of IT security.
• Planning and Scoping
• Information Gathering and Vulnerability Identifcation
• Attacks and Exploits
• Penetration Testing Tools
• Reporting and Communication
The CompTIA Advanced Security Practitioner (CASP) certification is a vendor-neutral credential. The CASP exam is an internationally targeted validation of advanced-level security skills and knowledge. The CASP exam will certify the successful candidate has the technical knowledge and skills required to:
• Risk Management
• Enterprise Security Architecture
• Enterprise Security Operations
• Technical Integration of Enterprise Security
• Research, Development and Collaboration
CompTIA Linux+ certification validates the skills necessary to be a successful junior level Linux administrator. After passing the two exams required for certification, candidates will have mastered the following skills:
• System Architecture
• Linux Installation & Package Management
• GNU & Unix Commands
• Devices, Linux Filesystems, Filesystem Hierarchy Standard
• Shells, Scripting & Data Management
• User Interfaces & Desktops
• Administrative Tasks
• Essential System Services
• Networking Fundamentals
• Security
CompTIA Server+ certification validates the skills necessary to be a server administrator. CompTIA Server+ certified candidates can work in any environment because it is the only vendor-neutral certification covering the major server platforms. Successful candidates will have mastered the following concepts:
• Server Architecture and Administration
• Virtualization
• Storage
• Security and Disaster Recovery
• Software-defned networking
• Troubleshooting
• Cloud
Cloud computing does not happen in a vacuum with an assigned “cloud administrator”, but rather an increasingly important piece of an organization’s IT systems. The skills validated by Cloud+ echo the voice of the industry. It is the only vendor-neutral, performance-based IT certification that views cloud-based infrastructure services in the context of broader IT systems operations.
• Configurations & Deployment
• Security
• Maintenance
• Management
• Troubleshooting
