To prepare for the CompTIA Security+ SY0-601 certification exam, you will need to identify and describe popular organizational security assessment tools and risk mitigation controls. You will likely come across these tools at some point in your career, so prior knowledge of how these work and what they're used for will be highly beneficial. In this CompTIA Security+ SY0-601 course, you'll explore the concept of network reconnaissance and discovery, and examine packet capture and replay, file manipulation, and forensic tools. You'll also identify shell and script environments, exploitation kits, and password crackers. You'll move on to recognize methods for reconfiguring endpoint security solutions and describe configuration changes for mitigation, the concepts of isolation, containment, and segmentation, and secure orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR) solutions. This course can be used in preparation for the CompTIA Security+ SY0-601 certification exam.
