Security+ v3

Security+ is a vendor-neutral certification that proves competency in network security and risk management. Security+ labs focus on the principles and best practices in network security. Students gain hands-on practice in the skills needed to secure a network and prepare for industry certification.

Security+ labs are supported in NETLAB+ using the Security+ v3 Pod.
