These courses are paired with a variety of demos and quizzes giving a real world look at some of the concepts that will be discussed.
Course Breakdown:
Section 1: In the pre-assessment quiz you'll face questions from all sections of this Security+ Certification training. Test your current knowledge and know your strengths and weaknesses.
Sections 2: Be introduced to various concepts on ethical hacking. We will be talking about vulnerabilities, exploits, defense strategy, penetration testing, pentest types and methodology, vulnerability management, incident management, and security policy development.
Section 3: Be able to identify a risk and the effect that it has on daily operations. You will gain an understanding of Disaster Recovery, be able to define what a disaster is, rank a disaster, and create a plan that will define how to recover from a disaster, as well as, successfully recovering your data.
