Overview/Description
Research and testing are the backbone of introducing new technologies and devices into your network. It is important to make sure none of the new changes will compromise network security. In this course, you'll learn about research methods to determine industry trends and their impact to the enterprise.You will also explore methods of securing an enterprise environment, and you will select methods or tools appropriate to conduct an assessment and analyze the results. This course is one of a series in the Skillsoft learning path that covers the objectives for the CompTIA Advanced Security Practitioner (CAS-002) certification exam.

Target Audience
Security candidates looking to certify their technical knowledge and skills required to conceptualize, engineer, integrate, and implement secure solutions across complex environments

Prerequisites
None

Expected Duration (hours)
