CompTIA NET+ Cert, Part 15 of 17: Network Security

Course description

This course will focus on Domain 3.0 of the CompTIA NET+ Certification Exam N10-006, a largely changed objective which has been considerably expanded. Areas to be explored include risk assessment, business continuity, disaster recovery, and high availability, as well as mitigating risk utilizing network hardening on operating systems and devices. In addition, the fundamentals of network forensics to ascertain a compromised system will be discussed.

Each LearnNowOnline training course is made up of Modules (typically an hour in length). Within each module there are Topics (typically 15-30 minutes each) and Subtopics (typically 2-5 minutes each). There is a Post Exam for each Module that must be passed with a score of 70% or higher to successfully and fully complete the course.
