For IT support, network, infrastructure, cloud and systems professionals building a formal security foundation.
Improve security judgement
For early-career cyber, SOC and operations professionals who need clearer threat, control and response context.
Understand the technical side
For audit, GRC, compliance and technology-risk professionals working with security evidence and controls.

Self-Study vs Live Security+ Training: Which Route Fits You?
Security+ has credible self-study options. The better route depends on how independently you can learn, how soon you need to test and whether live explanation improves your decision-making.
More flexible and lower-cost
- Set your own pace and select your own resources.
- Build your own study plan and diagnose weak areas.
- Find question practice and mock review independently.
- Often a good fit for disciplined, experienced learners.
More structure and guided review
- Scheduled accountability and a defined course sequence.
- Live faculty questions and practical scenario explanations.
- Guided weak-area review, practice and mock debriefs.
- Useful when you value explanation, pacing and instructor access.
Security+ Practical Exercises & Scenario Learning
These are guided practical exercises and simulations, not a claim of access to live production environments. They help learners apply security concepts to the decisions an exam scenario is testing.
Identity & access
Review suspicious login activity, MFA prompts, sessions, privileges and proportionate access actions.
Network controls
Interpret firewall or ACL choices, segmentation decisions and basic configuration trade-offs.
Threat detection
Read alerts and log-style evidence to identify what is useful before escalating a conclusion.
Vulnerability management
Prioritise remediation through risk, asset context, exposure and operational impact.
Endpoint security
Recognise configuration weaknesses, hardening decisions and relevant monitoring evidence.
Incident response & GRC
Sequence containment, evidence collection and escalation while connecting an issue to risk, controls and policy.
Prepare for Performance-Based Questions with Structured Scenario Practice
Performance-based questions ask candidates to work with a scenario, configuration, diagram or task rather than select only a conventional multiple-choice answer. The goal is to connect facts, controls and actions under time pressure.
Practice types
Network and control matching, IAM scenarios, firewall interpretation and basic configuration analysis.
Response decisions
Incident-response sequencing, evidence preservation, risk/control selection and escalation choices.
Practice boundary
EduDelphi uses original practice activities and does not reproduce live CompTIA exam questions or unauthorised brain-dump material.
CompTIA Security+ SY0-701 Exam Objectives & Domain Weightings
The official blueprint is the source of truth for the exam. EduDelphi keeps its teaching and revision organised around these five current Security+ domains.
1. General Security Concepts — 12%
2. Threats, Vulnerabilities & Mitigations — 22%
3. Security Architecture — 18%
4. Security Operations — 28%
5. Security Program Management & Oversight — 20%
EduDelphi Exam Strategy & Mock Practice
Review the live Security+ exam information and official objectives with CompTIA.
Practise the security decision, not just the definition
Security+ performance-based questions require candidates to interpret a situation, connect evidence to risk and select an appropriate action. Our learning approach uses original, guided scenarios rather than unauthorised live-exam content.
Unusual MFA prompts and an unfamiliar sign-in
An employee reports repeated MFA prompts while an unfamiliar sign-in appears in access logs. Learners discuss what is known, which account and session controls should be considered, what evidence to preserve and how to avoid treating a red flag as proof.
- Separate the alert from verified facts.
- Assess identity, session and endpoint evidence.
- Choose proportionate containment actions.
- Document the reason for escalation and follow-up.
Security+ Exam Format, Performance-Based Questions & Passing Score
Security+ uses a computer-based exam that assesses both knowledge and applied judgement. CompTIA controls availability, appointment options and final scoring.
Up to 90 questions
Multiple-choice and performance-based questions test different ways of applying the blueprint.
90 minutes
Official time allowed for the exam, so timing and question prioritisation matter.
750 scaled score
The current passing score is 750 on a 100–900 scale, not a direct percentage-correct threshold.
What are PBQs?
PBQs ask you to solve a simulated security problem or make decisions using the information presented. EduDelphi uses original practice activities to build the thinking behind these questions.
Confirm the live booking route
CompTIA and its approved testing network control current voucher, regional pricing, test-centre and online-testing availability. Check your exact route before paying.
40+ guided hours with a schedule you can sustain
The course provides 40+ guided hours. Your overall preparation time will vary with previous IT experience, weekly availability and the date you intend to take the official exam.
Security+ Course Fees & Official CompTIA Exam Cost
EduDelphi tuition is shared on enquiry because live, self-paced, one-to-one and corporate support differ. Official CompTIA charges are separate from training.
Shared on enquiry
Ask for current global batch options, delivery mode, inclusions and fee guidance for your study route.
Current U.S. exam reference
Current U.S. Security+ exam-voucher reference: approximately US$439. Country, currency, tax and purchase channel can change the final amount.
After certification: Security+ is valid for three years. CompTIA’s current Continuing Education route requires 50 CEUs within that three-year cycle; check the current CE policy before planning renewal.
Keep training and certification clear
EduDelphi provides training, study support and planning. CompTIA determines the official exam, voucher purchase, appointment availability, score, certification and renewal requirements.
Do not assume a universal price or voucher package. Confirm the final official amount in the CompTIA purchase flow for your country before payment.
Security+ and U.S. DoD Cyber Workforce Roles
Security+ can be relevant to U.S. defense cyber-workforce qualification pathways. Current DoD qualification is role- and proficiency-based under DoDM 8140.03 rather than relying only on the older 8570 certification-level model.
Candidates should confirm their own DCWF work role, proficiency level and organisation-specific requirements against the current DoD qualification matrix.
Useful context, not a blanket employment claim
Security+ does not by itself guarantee eligibility for a role, contract or clearance. Employer, agency and work-role requirements remain decisive.
Where can Security+ support your cybersecurity career?
Security+ preparation supports roles where teams need a shared foundation in security concepts, threats, controls, architecture and operations. It does not guarantee a role or salary.
Security+ vs Network+ vs ISC2 CC vs CySA+ vs CEH vs CISSP
These credentials serve different stages and responsibilities. Choose the route that matches the work you intend to perform next, not the acronym with the most familiarity.
Security+
Focus: broad, vendor-neutral cybersecurity foundations.
Better fit: entering or strengthening practical cybersecurity knowledge.
Network+
Focus: networking foundations and infrastructure.
Better fit: network knowledge needs strengthening before security depth.
ISC2 CC
Focus: entry-level cybersecurity concepts.
Better fit: you are exploring a first cybersecurity credential.
CySA+
Focus: defensive analysis and security operations.
Better fit: you are moving into blue-team or analyst work.
CEH
Focus: ethical-hacking and offensive-security concepts.
Better fit: offensive testing is the stronger interest.
CISSP
Focus: advanced security architecture, management and leadership.
Better fit: you have substantial experience and senior responsibility.

Kashif Akhtar
Qualified Engineer · CISA · CISM · CISSP · CRISC · CDPSE · PMP · CSCP
Kashif connects Security+ concepts to the systems, governance, controls, security and risk context professionals encounter in operating environments.
In scenario review, the focus is on the asset at risk, evidence available, the appropriate control response and how to explain the decision clearly. That helps learners carry the concept beyond a single exam question.
