Certification Exams
 The CompTIA Security+ vendor-neutral certification exam is the worldwide standard of competency for foundation-level security practitioners. Certification exams are administered by independent test centers and are available at our facility as an Authorized Testing Center by Prometric and Vue. To earn professional certification you must pass the authorized certification exam(s).
To earn Security+ certification, information technology professionals must pass a comprehensive examination which tests them on a wide range of security concepts, including access control, authentication, and external attack. They must have also mastered such areas as operational and organizational security and the basics of cryptography. International hardware and software companies and security associations have indicated they will use the CompTIA's Security+ certification as an elective or prerequisite to their more senior-level security certification programs.
Representatives from the United States government were among the founding organizations of the CompTIA committee, which guided development of the Security+ certification examination. Founding organizations from government included: the FBI, Secret Service, Cybersmuggling Center - U.S. Customs, National Institute of Standards Technology, and Argonne National Laboratory.
