About the Workshop: 

Take the first step toward a successful cybersecurity career with CompTIA Security+ certification training. This workshop is designed to equip IT professionals with the essential skills and knowledge needed to perform core security functions and excel in cybersecurity roles. CompTIA Security+ is a globally recognized, vendor-neutral certification that validates foundational security expertise and serves as a gateway to intermediate-level IT security jobs. Through hands-on troubleshooting and real-world applications, this workshop prepares participants to assess enterprise security, implement effective solutions, and respond to security incidents across hybrid environments, including cloud, mobile, and IoT. Join us to gain practical skills and a solid foundation in governance, risk, and compliance.

Workshop participants are expected to actively engage in the workshop by participating in the hands-on activities and interactive discussions.
