Good write up SJ. I would add that while sec + isn't a difficult exam it is meant to be entry level for people with about 6 months if experience in infosec. I have taken their CASP exam and thought that was a lot more challenging. There are actual scenarios that you have to think through. It's not well known though.

Dolan, CompTIA Security+ is a good and well-known entry-level certification for people who has interest working in Information Security roles. If you already in the InfoSec industry, I believe people know (or at least have heard) about Security+ As security consist of broad ranges, you might also want to complement yourself with specialized security fields certification either from vendor driven certification such as: (examples below are not mean to be exhausted): Cisco: CCNA/CCNP Security Microsoft: MCSA/MCSE Security RedHat: RHCSS CheckPoint: CCSA/CCSE Or from a vendor-neutral specialized certifications such as ISC2, GIAC or EC-Council. (a lot of options available starting from Security Administration, Management, Legal, Audit, Software Security and Forensic) ISC2: CISSP, SSCP, CSSLP,etc GIAC: GSEC, GCIH, GCIA, GPEN, etc EC-Council: CEH, CHFI, ECSA, LPT, etc ISACA: CISA, CISM, etc Just go to their website to explore further: Major vendor driven: Cisco: http://cisco.com/go/certifications Microsoft: http://microsoft.com/learning/en/us/certification/cert-overview.aspx RedHat: http://redhat.com/training/certifications/rhcss/ CheckPoint: http://checkpoint.com/services/education/certification/index.html Vendors-neutral (beside CompTIA): ISC2: http://isc2.org/cissp/default.aspx GIAC: http://giac.org EC-Council: http://eccouncil.org ISACA: isaca.org/CERTIFICATION/ Kind regards, SJ Alex Taidri On Thu, May 3, 2012 at 8:09 AM, <dolan.alex () gmail com> wrote:What are people's opinions on the CompTIA qualifications? http://www.comptia.org/home.aspx Specifically, the Security+ http://certification.comptia.org/getCertified/certifications/security.aspx I basically want to know if they are as worldwide recognised as they say they are, and will a Security+ qualification look good to a potential employer. Or will they never had heard of it?
