SCAD/DCS

This 5-day course is designed to help the student acquire a foundational knowledge of security topics and prepares them for CompTIA Security+ Certification examination.  All students are required to take the CompTIA Security+ Certification exam.

Students should have networking and administrative skills in Windows-based TCP/IP networks and familiarity with other operating systems, such as OS X, Unix, or Linux.  Students will implement and monitor security on networks, applications, and operating systems, and respond to security breaches.

This four-day course focuses on both Mac OS X as a directory service client, and Mac OS X Server as a directory server. Cross platform solutions are emphasized in both instances. In working with Mac OS X, students learn how to use network accounts and Kerberos authentication with any common directory service, such as Apple's Open Directory, Microsoft's Active Directory, or an industry-standard LDAP server.

This is the third in the series of Apple Certification Courses.
