CBT Nuggets is a training platform. Our courses build the skills these frameworks depend on, and our completion records document the workforce training many of them require. Training supports a compliance program; it does not by itself make an organization compliant. Your compliance program and its assessors decide what counts as evidence.

• CompTIA

  CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701)

  This CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) training prepares your team for a widely recognized entry-level cybersecurity certification. It covers network security fundamentals, cryptography basics, threat detection and mitigation, risk management, and compliance frameworks, and it builds the skills the SY0-701 exam tests: assessing the security posture of an enterprise environment and recommending solutions, monitoring and securing hybrid cloud and on-premises environments, responding to security incidents, and working within applicable regulations and governance policies. For an IT Director in a regulated industry, Security+ is the baseline many hiring rubrics and compliance programs expect of help desk analysts, network administrators, and security specialists alike. Individuals starting a security specialty earn the same credential on the same path.
