Learn two of the most operationally important areas of security: physical security and identity and account management. Through the industry-proven lens of the CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) exam, you'll learn how to design and evaluate physical security controls such as locks, cameras, access badges, and environmental protections, then implement multi-factor authentication, manage user accounts and privileges, enforce least privilege, and apply zero-trust principles to identity-based access decisions. Online labs reinforce MFA configuration, account management, and access control implementation.
