"Very Very good class for getting you into the frame of mind to understand the concepts and the way the test will present them"
The goal of this 5 Day CompTIA Authorized Security+ Boot Camp Training course is to provide IT Professionals with the most comprehensive accelerated learning environment for the Security+ (SY0-301) exam.
InfoSec Institute is time and time again recognized as the authority in the industry for high-quality Security+ exam prep. Our instructors have a total commitment to the exam objectives of the Security+, and will teach you vital tips and tricks needed to pass the exam the first time you take it. The Security+ Boot Camp teaches you information security theory, as well as reinforces theory with hands-on exercises that help you "learn by doing". You will learn how to configure and operate many different technical security controls over the course of the 5 day Boot Camp.
Our CompTIA Authorized Security+ Boot Camp is Updated with Latest Security+Performanced Based Exam Objectives:
The most recent edition of the CompTIA Security+ exam places greater emphasis on mitigating specific security issues. In previous editions, the Security+ Exam focused on merely recognizing security issues. CompTIA has also introduced Performance Based Exam Objectives, which introduces simulator-based testing commonly found on Cisco and Microsoft exams. Read more about how InfoSec Institue prepares you for these new, more difficult questions on the Security+ exam.
InfoSec Institute applauds this change, even though it makes the exam more difficult. The end result is a Security+ certification that is more meaningful for the information security community.
The new SY0-301 exam covers 6 Primary Objectives:

"I think the amount of time was appropriate, the information was relevant and well-summarized, and the test reflected the study materials well. My instructor did a great job. My Training Sales Representative has also been very helpful and I am glad that he had taken a great interest to follow up during class to with the students. I am very pleased with InfoSec lnstitute and the entire process."

"This boot camp provides a very direct and focused review and provides a framework for understanding how to approach the exam, which is unlike any other in the industry. Provided that you follow their program closely, including advance study of the materials they provide as a part of their comprehensive package, this camp will be a week very well spent."
"The instructor was superb. I never had a better instructor teach a class. I do mean ever. He kept it entertaining as well as informational. He was able to apply theory along with real world examples. He stayed late to teach us on topics and discuss. He was truly top notch. ... I will be taking another class from your school in the future. Along with recommending my friends to your school"
"As I mentioned before-the instructor's ability to make material interesting and fun is rare. He truly motivates you to not only pass the certification but, to become an IT security "Jedi" & live by the warrior code."
The skills and knowledge measured by the Security+ examination were derived and validated though input from a committee and over 1,000 subject matter experts representative of industry. A job task analysis (JTA), global survey, beta examination and beta results review were each milestones in the development process.
The results of these milestones were used in weighing the domains and ensuring that the weighting assigned to each domain is representative of the relative importance of the content. The Security+ certification is an internationally recognized validation of the technical knowledge required of foundation-level security practitioners. A Security+ certified individual has successfully proven holding a foundation-level of skill and knowledge in General Security Concepts, Communication Security, Infrastructure Security, Basics of Cryptography and Operational / Organizational Security. Candidates are recommended to have two years experience in a networking role with preexisting knowledge of TCP/IP, experience in a security related role, Network+ or equivalent certification, and adequate training and self-study materials. All candidates are encouraged to review the Security+ objectives thoroughly prior to attempting the exam. This examination includes blueprint weighting, test objectives and example content. Example concepts are included to clarify the test objectives and should not be construed as a comprehensive listing of the content of the examination.
Course Prerequisites:
This course is targeted toward an Information Technology (IT) professional who has networking and administrative skills who want to further a career in IT by acquiring a foundational knowledge of security topics; prepare for the CompTIA Security+ Certification examination; or use Security+ as the foundation for advanced security certifications or career roles.
The CompTIA Security+ validates knowledge of communication security, infrastructure security, cryptography, operational security, and general security concepts. It is an international, vendor-neutral certification that is taught at colleges, universities and commercial training centers around the world. Although not a prerequisite, it is recommended that CompTIA Security+ candidates have at least two years on-the-job networking experience, with an emphasis on security.
Because human error is the number one cause for a network security breach, CompTIA Security+ is recognized by the technology community as a valuable credential that proves competency with information security. Major corporations such as Sun, IBM/Tivoli Software Group, Symantec, Motorola, Hitachi Electronics Services and Verisign value the CompTIA Security+ certification and recommend or require it of their IT employees.
