Security+ Certification Overview


Origin and Creation


The Security+ certification was created by CompTIA (Computing Technology Industry Association), a non-profit trade association, and was first introduced in 2002. CompTIA developed this certification in response to the growing need for a vendor-neutral, baseline security credential that could validate foundational cybersecurity skills across various platforms and technologies. The certification was designed to establish a standardized measure of competency for IT professionals entering security roles, addressing the increasing importance of information security in organizations worldwide.


Industry Value and Importance


Security+ is widely recognized as one of the most important entry-level cybersecurity certifications in the IT industry. It meets the ISO 17024 standard and is approved by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) as one of the required certifications for information assurance positions under DoD Directive 8570.01-M, making it essential for many government contractors and military personnel. Employers value Security+ because it demonstrates that holders possess practical, hands-on skills in network security, risk management, cryptography, and threat detection—core competencies needed in today's security-conscious business environment. The certification serves as a solid foundation for cybersecurity careers and is often a prerequisite for more advanced security credentials.
