proprietary Experience-based Training (EBT) approach
to support CompTIA's Security+ Certification program
PLEASANT GROVE, Utah, Dec. 23 /PRNewswire/ --
TestOut Corporation, the leading provider of
experience-based training to schools, businesses and
IT professionals seeking network certifications,
announced the availability of a new training suite,
to support the Security+ certification program
developed by the Computing Technology Industry
Association (CompTIA). The Need for Security The
demand for skilled security professionals is growing
significantly and the technology community has
adopted Security+ as the standard of entry-level
information security. The CompTIA Security+
certification tests for security knowledge of
individuals with at least two years on-the-job
networking experience. Many corporations recommend
or require the Security+ certification for their IT
employees. Some of these companies include: Sun,
IBM/Tivoli Software Group, Symantec, Motorola, and
Olympus Security Group. These companies know the
value of a Security+ certification and recommend or
require it of their IT employees. In addition,
Security+ is currently used as an elective or
prerequisite to advanced security certifications.
TestOut's Security+(TM) Solution TestOut's
CourseSim(TM) training software, developed by
certified technical trainers and professional course
designers, delivers comprehensive, multimedia
training for each of the Security+ exam objectives
including: - Communication security - Infrastructure
security - Cryptography - Access control -
Authentication - External attack and - Operational
and organization security The training incorporates
video, demonstrations, and exhibits to clearly
illustrate difficult concepts to help learners grasp
concepts faster and better. When learners are
comfortable with the material, they can evaluate
their readiness for the certification exam with
TestOut's ExamSim(TM) test preparation tool. ExamSim
features a realistic test interface that simulates
the actual certification exam experience on the
learner's workstation. This offers students the
ability to practice taking multiple, realistic
certification exams with detailed feedback and
explanations. "We have seen a dramatic increase
in demand for security-related training," said
Noel Vallejo, CEO of TestOut. "CompTIA is
leading the pack in providing a baseline for
security certifications. The decision to create a
training solution for Security+ was a
no-brainer." TestOut's Security+ certification
suite is available now. Additional courses for the
entire Microsoft Windows Servers 2003 MCSE
