CompTIA Security + training

Description

With cyber attacks on the rise, infrastructure security has become a major concern for all organisations. For IT professionals, developing cybersecurity skills is essential if they are to start or progress in their careers. Many companies are now recruiting security administrators and IT auditors to protect their information systems, applications and equipment. The CompTIA Security+ course gives you the opportunity to acquire practical knowledge of cyber security. Over a five-day period, you will learn the fundamentals of corporate IT security, covering threats, attacks and vulnerabilities, as well as topics such as cryptography and secure network architecture. You will also learn about compliance standards and best practice in risk management and data protection. At the end of this intensive course, you will be ready to take the CompTIA SY0-701 exam, which is included in our offer. This exam is a prerequisite for CompTIA Security+ certification (for more information, see the certification tab).

Day 1: Introduction to Cyber Security and Understanding Cyber Attacks

  • Basic concepts of IT security, IT project risk management and vulnerability assessment.
  • Understanding cyber attacks, including hacking, social engineering, malware and network attacks.
  • Computer lab: detect malware, analyse the vulnerability of a website, simulate a DDoS attack, crack a password, carry out an intrusion test, and
  • observe SQL command injection attacks.

Day 2: Cryptography and Network Fundamentals

  • Understanding cryptography techniques and public key infrastructures (PKI).
  • Computer lab: implementing symmetric and asymmetric cryptography, using hash functions for files, and setting up a certification authority.
  • Network fundamentals, including basic components, the IP addressing system and network ports.
  • Computer lab: using command-line TCP/IP troubleshooting tools.

Day 3: Securing the Enterprise Network and Hosts

  • Securing a corporate network, including network protection components and transport layer encryption.
  • Computer lab: configuring a firewall strategy with custom rules, testing SSL certificates, securing a WAP, analysing a system event log.
  • Securing hosts, including the security of computers, data and mobile devices.
  • Computer lab: encrypting and securing with BitLocker.

Day 4: Securing Network Services and Authentication Processes

  • Securing network services, including the security of applications, virtual machines and cloud services.
  • Computer lab: identifying vulnerable code.
    Understanding authentication processes, types of factors and authentication protocols.
  • Computer lab: installing and configuring a RADIUS server, carrying out an analysis with Active Directory.

Day 5: Access Control, Risk Management and Disaster Recovery Planning

  • Access control in information systems, access control techniques and user account management.
  • Computer lab: auditing NTFS authorisations, using tools to manage Active Directory.
    Risk management, IT security laws and policies, user training.
  • Disaster recovery planning, high availability and incident response.
  • Computer lab: setting up and using backups on Windows Server.

This course is aimed at the following groups:

  • anyone wishing to acquire basic cybersecurity skills ;
  • IT professionals wishing to obtain CompTIA Security+ certification.

To follow the CompTIA S + training course, you need the following prerequisites:

  • be able to read and understand English, Japanese, Portuguese or Spanish for the SY0-701 exam;
  • CompTIA Network+ certification and 2 years' experience as a system or security administrator (recommended).

At the end of the CompTIA Security+ course, you will be able to achieve the following objectives:
 

  • Establish a threat model to protect a company's network access points and IT services.
  • Manage an intrusion detection system (IDS) to identify attacks on a network or IT infrastructure.
  • Implement network security, including the creation and configuration of a Bastion host.
  • Create and configure access control lists (ACLs).
  • Establish firewall services with custom rules, applying dynamic packet filters and device filtering.
  • Identify network ports and hacking tools commonly used by hackers.
  • Carry out port scanning and use it effectively to protect an information system.
  • Monitor and identify attacks and vulnerabilities in order to mitigate them before they are deployed in an information system.
  • Assimilate the concepts of secure virtualisation, secure application deployment and automation.
  • Characterise, advise on and apply the best security solutions within an organisation.
  • Understand the laws and policies relating to IT security.
  • Identify, investigate and respond to security incidents.
  • Pass the SY0-701 CompTIA Security+ exam to obtain certification.
