Unsurprisingly, the field of cybersecurity is becoming more complex. Most practitioners agree that threats are increasing, and attack vectors are becoming more sophisticated. At present, CompTIA® is reworking the Security+ curriculum to amp up sections on threats and vulnerabilities as well as cloud security. Additionally, tools and technology along with automation and orchestration are being enhanced in response to the increase in the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning. It is anticipated that organizations will also rely upon practitioners at this level of education and experience to provide some penetration testing; thus, the next version of Security+ will likely include increased focus on this skillset.
The new version of the Security+ certification (SY0-601) is set to be released in November 2020. As is customary, CompTIA® will deprecate the current version (SY0-501) 6 months after release, May 2021.
While colleges and universities offer cybersecurity tracks, the skills gap is not necessarily being closed by these degree programs. Organizations are seeking analysts with practical experience and performance-based training that comes from well-respected certifications, such as Security+ from CompTIA®.
