This includes computer hardware and software, networking concepts and devices, as well as Microsoft’s Active Directory domain and Azure cloud computing platforms. You then transition into the exciting world of cybersecurity where you train for your CompTIA Security+ certification and gain an understanding of foundational principles for securing networks and network devices.
