CompTIA Network+ Exam Updates for N10-008
Organizations and IT professionals face new network challenges and complexities as they navigate through increased security concerns, hybrid working environments, and the need for maximum performance and increased productivity. In today’s digital world, it’s more important than ever for organizations to trust that their networks are secure, uninterrupted, and flexible. Updates to Network+ reflect current skills related to network engineers and prepare professionals to work effectively and efficiently, supporting and optimizing today’s network environments.
CompTIA Network+ is updated to address many of the pressing issues organizations face today with their enterprise networks by validating foundational skills and competencies needed to maintain, deploy and troubleshoot essential networks necessary to support business objectives.
CompTIA Network+ is accredited by ANSI as meeting the ISO/IEC 17024 standard and is approved by U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to fulfill Directive 8570.01-M/8140 requirements. It is compliant with government regulations under the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA).
Why is it different?
- Unlike other vendor-specific networking certifications, CompTIA Network+ prepares candidates to support networks on any platform. It provides the foundation you need to work on networks anywhere.
- CompTIA Network+ is the only certification that covers the specific skills that network engineers need. Other certifications are so broad, they don’t cover the hands-on skills and precise knowledge needed to win today’s networking environments
