CompTIA Security+ Learning Contents

=General Security Concepts=
The student will identify the various aspects of computer security and will be introduced to the basic concepts of computer security, Understand the risks an organization faces and the steps needed to be taken in order to minimize those risks.

=Infrastructure and Connectivity=
The student will be able to identify a variety of media and devices that facilitate communication and provide security, they also will be able to define the devices work and how they work or how they also FAIL to provide adequate security, infrastructure and media.

=Implementing Working and Maintaining a Secure Network=
The student will be able to define the different Operating Systems, Network products and applications, the process of reducing or eliminating weakness, securing services and an attempt to make the environment safer from attacks, also develop issues of threats to the network; they shall define the process to address the physical environment and business by evaluating physical security issues such as access controls, physical barriers, and biometric systems. Social engineering issues and environmental issues so that the systems are safe and operational.

=Cryptography Basics, Methods and Standards=
The student will be able to list the different forms of cryptography and how they are used in the computer field; ways to protect private information from unauthorized access and exploitation. In addition they shall list the algorithms used, the methods encryption is used today, Public key infrastructure and some of the attacks to which the cryptographic systems are vulnerable to.

=Security Policies and Procedures=
The student will be able to describe ways to prevent losses by threats and vulnerabilities and also make contingency plans for recovering from the losses when they occur. They will list the key aspects of business continuity, vendor support, security policies and procedures, designing and maintaining security in the organization. Given two case histories of computer system security breach, they shall be able to identify the probable cause(s) and propose an appropriate solution in each case.

=Security Management=
