Suggested Course Track: GlobalNet Training's 6-Day Network+/Security+ dual certification boot camp course provides you with the basic hardware, software, networking and security skills necessary to function in a variety of information technology positions. CompTIA's Network+ certification demonstrates that an individual possesses a mastery of knowledge and skills necessary to configure a wide range of networking products in a LAN environment. The CompTIA Security+ certification is the premier vendor-neutral security certification and the worldwide standard of competency for foundation-level security practitioners. This dual training boot camp combines real world scenarios on real equipment with a focused lab section highlighting CompTIA's exam topics. GlobalNet Training's expert instructors will prepare students by completing the learning triangle and blending real world scenarios and hands-on labs with CompTIA's exam objectives. Course Content In the Network+ section of this course, students will learn to analyze network traffic in detail and study IP, IP addressing and subnetting, DHCP, DNS, and routing, and how to install TCP/IP and troubleshoot connections among platforms. In the Security+ section of this course students will continue to learn network traffic, but with a focus on securing communication and hardening the environment. Students will learn topics including communication, infrastructure, cryptography, access control, authentication, external attacks and operations/organization security. Exams
