ILT/VILT
CompTIA Security+ is a global cybersecurity certification that verifies the fundamental skills needed to perform basic security responsibilities and pursue a career in information security. It is the first and most important security certification that a candidate should obtain. It establishes the foundational knowledge needed for any cybersecurity profession and serves as a stepping stone to intermediate-level cybersecurity positions.
Security+ is ISO 17024 compliant and has been approved by the US Department of Defense to meet directive 8140/8570.01-M requirements. Regulators and the government rely on ANSI accreditation because it instils confidence and trust in a program's outcomes. Since January 1, 2011, over 2.3 million CompTIA ISO/ANSI-accredited tests have been delivered.
Closing skill gaps has been a major challenge for organizations in 2024, and there’s no sign that things are going to get any easier in the near future. As we get ready to flip the calender to a new year, skill building will play a huge role in navigating the ups and downs of the coming year.
