Now more than ever, you need to ensure that your data is secure and safe from threats that could attack your network. This is why we offer so much security training.

Here are four of our top IT security courses that we think will help you to be as safe as possible in 2017!

1. CompTIA Security+ SY0-401

CompTIA's Security+ certification is internationally recognized as a validation of entry-level IT security skills and knowledge. Passing this exam verifies that you know all the basics when it comes to network security, and arguably it's the first certification learners should tackle.

Passing the exam certifies that you can identify risks, participate in risk mitigation activities, and provide infrastructure, application information, and operational security. Our course provides you with the knowledge of security controls to maintain confidentiality, integrity, and availability on a network.

If you want to expand your security knowledge, are preparing for an IT security certification, or making a career change, Security+ training will help you understand network security at its core.

2. Juniper JNCIS-ENT (JN0-343) Layer 2 Security

This course is actually part of our seven-part series designed to help you pass the Juniper JNCIS-ENT exam.

4. Cisco CCNP Security 300-207 SITCS

Want to take your CCNA Security even further? Do you just want to learn even more about security? Think about learning more about Cisco Certified Network Professional Security (CCNP Security). The Implementing Cisco Threat Control Solutions (SITCS, 300-207) course is part of the curriculum that the CCNP Security certification covers.

This course provides training on integration of Intrusion Prevention System, context-aware firewall components, as well as web and email security solutions for the Cloud.

The best way to protect a network is to educate all of your users. Once they know how to identify red flags, they are more likely to recognize the attacks that are commonly used to steal data.
