CompTIA Cloud+ Certification

• This course is designed for students who possess a basic understanding of computers, networks, and cybersecurity principles. While prior knowledge equivalent to the CompTIA Security+ certification is advantageous, it is not a requirement.

Discover how to safeguard cloud resources in a neutral environment with CompTIA Cloud+ CV0-002. This course equips you with fundamental knowledge and skills necessary to assess, choose, monitor, and secure cloud resources, following a vendor-neutral approach. Key topics covered include vulnerability management, network reconnaissance and monitoring, cloud-to-network connections, secure migration, policies and procedures, host and network security, identity management, and incident response. Aligned with the CompTIA Cloud+ CV0-002 certification exam, this course provides comprehensive coverage of the objectives.
