The course is divided into modules, each focusing on a specific area, such as device management, operating system configuration and management, network management, security measures, and more.
What prerequisites are required for the CompTIA CSSS course?
The course page does not specify any prerequisites for this course. However, the individual CompTIA certifications that make up the CSSS course, namely A+, Security+, and CySA+, each have their own recommended prerequisites and experience levels. For instance, CompTIA A+ is generally considered an entry-level certification and doesn’t require any specific prerequisites, while CompTIA Security+ and CySA+ often recommend having some level of prior IT and/or security experience.
