The most widely requested entry-level security certification: general security concepts, threats and mitigations, secure architecture, security operations, and programme governance.
CompTIA Security+ is CompTIA's associate-level cybersecurity certification, sat as exam SY0-701. The exam runs for 1 hour 30 minutes and presents up to 90 questions, with a pass mark of 750 / 900 (scaled). It costs US$404 at the standard rate.
CompTIA publishes the syllabus as 5 weighted domains. Security Operations carries the most weight at 28%, and the three largest domains together account for roughly 70% of the scored content — worth knowing before you decide where study time goes.
Security+ is referenced directly by the US Department of Defense workforce framework, which is a large part of why it appears in so many job postings. The 701 series added noticeably more governance, risk and automation content than the 601 series it replaced.
