CompTIA Security+ (SY0-601) 國際認可證書課程
課程簡稱：CompTIA Security+ SY0-601 Training Course

CompTIA (The Computing Technology Industry Association) 於 1982 年成立，擁有超過 2,000 個國際級機構成員，3,000 個學術和合作夥伴，覆蓋了整個信息通信技術 (ICT) 行業，故 CompTIA 已經成為技術生態系統的主要領導者之一。

CompTIA Security+ 認證是一套中立的 (Vendor Neutral) 國際認證系統，它能確認您於 I.T. Security 的認識與各項資訊科技安全的技能，包括：

• 各種網絡 (Network) 及終端機 (Endpoint) 安全系統
• 各種密碼演算法 (Cryptography) 的應用
• 身份 (Identification) 及生物 (Biometrics) 驗證系統
• 安全危機的辨識 (Security Risk Identification) 與化解 (Mitigation) 方法
• 網絡存取控制系統 (Network Access Control System) 的應用
• 安全結構設備 (Security Infrastructure Devices)
• 虛擬化平台安全技術 (Virtualization Platform Security Technologies)
• 雲端安全技術 (Cloud Security Technologies)

CompTIA

為何考取 CompTIA Security+ 認證？

• 因其中立的特性，通常成為資訊科技安全領域人士首先考取的認證。
  
  
• 全球 25 萬人持有。
  
  
• 根據美國勞工統計局 (Bureau of Labor Statistics) 及知名人力資源網站 Payscale.com 的統計資料顯示，擁有 CompTIA Security+ 認證的資訊安全分析專家 (Information Security Analyst) 的年薪介乎於 US$49,000 與 US$97,000 之間。另外，具備資訊科技安全技能的 Network / System Administrator 的年薪介乎於 US$39,000 與 US$83,000 之間。
  
  
• 領先而中立的認證，會經常被全球各地的國際級機構認可並被設定為必要的入職條件。例如 Apple, Dell, HP, IBM, Intel 等機構的資訊安全相關職位 (例如 Information Security Officer) 均要求入職者持有 CompTIA Security+ 認證。
  
  
• 為進修 Cisco CCNP Security, Juniper JNCIS-SEC, Check Point CCSE, CISA, CISSP 等等更高級的專業認證作基礎而必要的準備。
