SY0-601 Exam Format

It is recommended that IT professionals seeking to take the exam have at least 2 years of previous IT experience as well as the Network + Certification. Upon passing the exam, the certification is valid for three years.

The certification is also vendor neutral meaning that the certification is universal and that you will be able to work with a wider range of tools and across various career fields. Security + certification holders can look forward to job positions such as Security or Systems Administrator. However, they can also work in careers that use baseline security skills such as IT Auditor, Software Developer and IT Project Manager. Earning a Security + certification puts professionals on the path to more advanced careers like Security Engineer or Forensic Analyst as well. Professionals with a Security + certification earn an average of $75, 391 annually. (Payscale, 2020).
