CompTIA Security+, Part 7 of 8: Data Security Auth

Course description

With an expanding array of smartphones, laptops and tablets now present in the enterprise, security expert Ryan Hendricks looks at what security and IT professionals can do to make these devices more secure. This course also examines security issues on the desktop and what’s new with firewalls and anti-virus programs. In addition to imparting insights about how to protect specific devices, Hendricks also examines the underlying concepts of identification, authentication factors and account management.

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.

Prerequisites

This course assumes that the user has working knowledge of networks and networking. Ideally, the user should have their CompTIA Network+ certification, but can be replaced with networking experience.
