CompTIA A+ Core 2 – 2.0 – Security

This course covers Domain 2.0 of the CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1202) exam: Security. You'll learn how to secure physical spaces and devices, protect workstations and mobile devices, recognize and defend against malware, and spot social engineering attempts before they cause damage. We cover wireless security protocols, authentication methods, data destruction, and the basic security best practices every technician needs on the job. This domain builds on the operating systems knowledge from Domain 1.0, since securing a system means understanding how that system works first. By the end, you'll be able to apply real security practices to protect devices, data, and users, and you'll be ready for the security questions on the Core 2 exam.
