Description

Welcome! I’m here to help you prepare for and PASS the CompTIA Security+ SY0-601 exam!

Whether you are new to IT or you already have experience, my course is designed to help you learn all of the topics you need.

Are you trying to get started in cybersecurity? Or are you looking to get a higher-paying job?

The CompTIA Security+ certification is one of the most well-known cybersecurity certifications. It can not only provide you with more job opportunities, but it also provides you with a learning path of important cybersecurity topics you need to understand in order to have a successful career in this space. In fact, certain jobs require that you have at least one IT certification, and the Security+ can often qualify as one of those certifications.

By the way, my name is Christophe Limpalair and I’m the founder of Cybr, a cybersecurity training platform, and the author of this all-in-one Security+ course. I have over 7 years of training experience, and I’ve been in IT for about 20 years. I’ve taught tens of thousands of students in cybersecurity, cloud computing, and web development, and I look forward to helping you get certified.

I’ve personally taken and passed this exam, so I know exactly what you need to learn and how, and I’ve sprinkled in tips and tricks throughout the course that will help you get ready for the real exam.

I specifically designed this course syllabus to match the official CompTIA Exam Objectives so that you can keep track of what you’ve learned and what you still need to learn.

This exam has 5 different domains:

   Domain 1 is about Attacks, Threats, and Vulnerabilities – which is 24% of the exam
   Domain 2 is about Architecture and Design – which is 21% of the exam
   Domain 3 is about Implementation – which is 25% of the exam
   Domain 4 is about Operations and Incident Response – which is 16% of the exam
   Domain 5 is about Governance, Risk, and Compliance – which is 14% of the exam

Within these domains, you will learn about malware, web/cloud/network attacks, cryptography, network configurations, authentication, and much, much more.

If any of those topics sound overwhelming to you — don’t worry! I walk you through it all lesson by lesson.

In fact, this course has over 300 video lessons which is over 23 hours of high-quality video content as well as additional learning materials including a study template you can customize, a full list of Security+ acronyms and their definitions, and knowledge check quizzes.

I’ve even included a multiple-choice practice exam at the end of the course to validate your knowledge and understanding, and I provide free access to multiple Performance-Based Questions (PBQs) that you can take and that mimic PBQs you can expect to see on the exam.

On top of the training you receive, you get access to Cybr’s free Discord community where you can meet others who are actively studying for the Security+ or who have passed it and can provide you with tips and tricks.

If you still have doubts, by the way, I provide a 30-day money-back policy pursuant to Udemy’s refund policies.

With an increasing demand for cybersecurity jobs, getting started with this course is a no-brainer. Let’s get started, and let’s take your career to the next level!

I’ll see you in the course!

About the Instructor

Hi, my name is Christophe Limpalair, and I will be your instructor for this course. I got my start in IT at the age of 11 building websites for organizations. This is where I first learned the importance of writing secure code because some of my websites got hacked and I had to figure out how. Back then, there weren’t very many affordable learning resources for this topic, so figuring this out was very painful at times. That’s when I first started to realize that more training was needed in IT.

Fast-forward a few years, and this thing called “AWS” was becoming more and more popular. I started learning how it worked by migrating a few of my projects to it, and I fell in love. Cloud computing was the real deal and I knew it was going to become more and more important over time, so I learned as much of it as I could. Around the same time, I founded a training platform for developers which got acquired by Linux Academy in 2016. There, I authored multiple AWS courses including: AWS Lambda Deep Dive, AWS Certified Developer Associate (certification course), AWS Certified DevOps Engineer Professional (certification course), AWS Backup Strategies, and more. I also helped build and secure our Hands-On Labs platform which was constantly under attack because malicious actors wanted to abuse our lab platform to mine cryptocurrency or to launch external attacks from our infrastructure. At the same time, many of our business customers were also sharing that they had issues and concerns with making sure their cloud environments and resources were secure, especially as they were migrating from on-prem.

Once Linux Academy was acquired and merged with ACloudGuru in 2019, I decided to launch my own training platform called Cybr to provide affordable cybersecurity training, including this course and AWS cloud security courses, as well as ethical hacking courses.

Long story short, I’ve been in IT for about 20 years and I’ve gotten exposure to web development, cloud computing, and cybersecurity. These are all topics I’m passionate about and that are needed to understand for the Security+ exam, and I love giving back because so many people have helped me along my journey. That’s why I’ve been creating both free and affordable training material for over 7 years, and that’s why I created a free community that all are welcome to join. I hope to see you in my community and in my course!
