    Networking Concepts in Security+

    In a perfect world, students would pass A+ first, Network+ second, and Security+ third. Unfortunately, we do not live in a perfect world. I've lost count of how many students attempted Security+ as their first certification. Many of the students had no IT background whatsoever. I preface...
