CompTIA Security+: Securing Organizations

Over the years, security attacks have evolved. Currently, 80% of organizations use the Internet as an essential part of their business operations, and half of them experience a significant loss of assets due to Internet-related incidents.

International Data Corporation (IDC), a market research and analysis firm, reports that security spending has increased significantly in the last few years – from $5.1 billion to $14.2 billion.
There are three factors that are fueling the drive for businesses to make security an executive priority:
The business transformation to e-business
HIPAA legislation
A need to protect the business infrastructure from increasing threats


Many aspiring IT pros are concerned that the entry-level certs just won't get them anywhere. The common complaint is that there are already too many people with CompTIA certs and the widespread fear is that the certifications are too basic.

Others worry that CompTIA certifications won't help them get a job or a promotion; it's difficult for them to see the benefits of a certification that requires time and money and doesn't offer to set them apart from other IT pros in the field.
Security Challenges for Organizations

The main challenge for organizations is to allow access while still maintaining strict protection of their valuable assets. Thus, security professionals are always in demand. If this line of work interests you, a security certification is just the thing to enhance your career and make you more valuable to your employer and business.

"In my opinion, CompTIA has really raised the bar with the new A+ certification,” Hill said in his video. “They have set a new standard while still keeping in mind that this exam is designed and developed for those who are seeking entry-level job roles.” Highlights of the CompTIA A+ Core Series Scripting: You won’t need to become a programmer or know coding inside and out, but you’ll need to understand the basics of how scripting works and the principles of scripting language.

The service is also offering 5%, 7%, 10% and 15% discounts to prospective customers, with a return policy based on the remaining time from the originally purchased package. The service profiled in this post, is the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the overall availability of DDoS for hire managed services within the cybercrime ecosystem. This fierce competition prompts for unique client acquisition tactics, such as offering complete anonymity throughout the purchasing and post-purchasing process in order to ensure that anyone can request any target, including high profile ones, to be attacked. Moreover, although the service is undermining the OPSEC (operational security) of the proposition by advertising on public forums, the business model of the competition is often driven by invite-only sales, where prospective customers are trusted and verified as hardcore cybercriminals with a significant credibility within the cybercrime ecosystem.
