CompTIA Security+ is the only core cybersecurity certification that emphasizes hands-on practical skills. Performance-based questions make up much of the exam. This requires test-takers to demonstrate their ability to perform many of the duties they’ll encounter on the job.

About 80% of the content on the new exam relates to technologies designed to repel the latest cyberattacks, threats and vulnerabilities, as well as current cybersecurity architecture, design and implementation techniques. The remaining 20% covers newer concepts such as automation, continuous security monitoring, incident response and governance, risk and compliance (GRC).
