A great certification to demonstrate basic security knowledge is the CompTIA Security+ certification. Unlike other certifications, such as the\u00a0CISSP\u00a0or the CISM, the Security+ doesn\u2019t have any mandatory experience or prerequisites. CompTIA also suggests that Security+ candidates obtain the CompTIA Network+ certification, but they don\u2019t require it.<\/p>\n

The Security+ is a mandated certification for the US Department of Defense\u00a0and is accredited by both the American National Standard Institute (ANSI) and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). Another benefit of the Security+ is that it\u2019s vendor-neutral, instead choosing to focus on security topics and technologies in general, without limiting its focus to any one vendor and their approach.<\/p>\n

There is only one exam required to earn the Security+ certification. That exam (exam SY0-301) is comprised of 100 questions and is provided over a 90-minute period. The grading scale is from 100 to 900, with a passing score of 750, or roughly 83% (although that\u2019s just an estimate\u00a0because the scale changes somewhat over time).<\/p>\n
