Questions
IT security and SOC: common questions
I am a complete beginner. Where do I start?
Cybersecurity Fundamentals. It assumes no security background.
Does this prepare me for CompTIA Security+?
The Security+ course follows the SY0-701 objectives. The exam itself is booked and taken with CompTIA, which is not affiliated with EDWartens.
What is the difference between IT and OT security?
IT security protects business systems and data. OT security protects industrial control systems, where availability and safety come first.
Is it free, and is there a certificate?
Every lesson, note and assessment is free. The EDWartens certificate is optional and paid, and it is not a CompTIA or vendor certification.
