The 220-1002 exam takes security skills to the next level, according to CompTIA. For example, it’s no longer enough to simply recognize malware — you need to be able to detect and remove it.
Some of the changes in the security domain include:
- Physical and logical (digital) security practices were separated into their own individual sections and some new concepts were introduced, such as the “principle of least privilege” and mobile-device management (MDM) policies
- Social engineering has been expanded and includes a lot of other vectors beyond phishing, like spearphishing, shoulder-surfing and even dumpster-diving
- Workstation security practices were expanded to include basic active directory functions like account deletion
Unsurprisingly, the field of cybersecurity is becoming more complex. Most practitioners agree that threats are increasing, and attack vectors are becoming more sophisticated. At present, CompTIA® is reworking the Security+ curriculum to amp up sections on threats and vulnerabilities as well as cloud security. Additionally, tools and technology along with automation and orchestration are being enhanced in response to the increase in the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning. It is anticipated that organizations will also rely upon practitioners at this level of education and experience to provide some penetration testing; thus, the next version of Security+ will likely include increased focus on this skillset.
