• Implement secure mobile device management (MDM) policies for BYOD environments.
• Apply secure coding practices to prevent software vulnerabilities and exploits.
• Configure cloud security controls to protect virtualized environments and cloud workloads.

6. Data Protection & Privacy

• Explain data classification, storage, and encryption methods to safeguard sensitive information.
• Implement data loss prevention (DLP) strategies to prevent unauthorized access and exfiltration.
• Understand privacy laws and compliance requirements such as GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS.

7. Incident Response & Digital Forensics

• Develop an incident response plan, including identification, containment, eradication, and recovery.
• Utilize forensic tools and techniques to analyze security breaches and collect digital evidence.
• Follow legal and regulatory considerations for handling security incidents and investigations.

8. Risk Management & Cyber Resilience

• Apply risk management concepts such as risk assessment, mitigation, and acceptance.
• Implement business continuity and disaster recovery strategies to maintain cyber resilience.
• Strengthen system and network defenses against evolving threats through proactive security measures.

9. Physical Security & Access Controls

• Understand physical security controls such as surveillance, access badges, and secure facilities.
• Implement hardware security solutions, including secure boot and hardware encryption.
• Apply personnel security best practices, such as security awareness training and insider threat mitigation.
•  

Prerequisites

There are no formal prerequisites, but CompTIA recommendeds that students have at least 2 years of IT administration experience with a security focus and the CompTIA Network+ certification.
