In recent CompTIA research*, four out of five organizations indicated that training has improved IT security, by increasing awareness,
boosting abilities at identifying potential risks, improving security measures and increasing staff response time. Security content was
recently expanded in CompTIA A+ and added to CompTIA Network+ to prepare workers with the knowledge and skills to keep your
networks safe from security threats. CompTIA Security+, while remaining a foundation-level certification, covers security knowledge
at a level appropriate for a network or security administrator. These certifications are the IT industry standard for measuring
competencies and ensuring the workforce has the skills to perform with efficiency.
