   Watch Promo

In today's digital age, securing our networks is more important than ever. This CompTIA Security+ 701 course is designed to give you the skills and knowledge needed to protect digital assets effectively.

We’ll start with the basics of network security to help you understand the complex world of cyber threats and how to defend against them. You'll learn about encryption technologies, both symmetric (like AES) and asymmetric (like RSA), and how protocols like SSL/TLS keep data safe. We’ll also cover essential tools like firewalls and Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) that help prevent unauthorized access.

Next, we’ll dive into Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) and their role in secure remote access, along with the details of creating secure network designs, including subnetting and network topologies. We'll look at real-world examples to see how these technologies are used in practice.

A critical part of the course is Identity and Access Management (IAM). You’ll learn how to manage user identities, roles, and permissions, with a focus on strong authentication methods like multi-factor authentication (MFA). We’ll also cover how to analyze and mitigate threats, teaching you to spot and handle issues like malware, ransomware, and phishing attacks through practical exercises.

Understanding compliance and legal issues is crucial, especially if you’re working in environments regulated by GDPR or HIPAA. We’ll explore these standards so you’re prepared to handle the legal aspects of cybersecurity.

By the end of this course, you’ll have a solid understanding of network security from the ground up. You’ll be ready to tackle cyber threats head-on and keep your organization’s data safe.

If you are tired of the same old methods of learning and want someone that is pretty much unconventional, but at the same time will provide you with an enjoyable learning experience in layman's terms...then please preview my courses and you will discover that I am your guy.

I am a Network Engineer with many years in the field and in the teaching industry. I hold the following certifications: CCNA, CCNA Security, CCNA Voice, CCNP, Security+, Network+, A+, MCP, MCTS & MOS and since then, I have passed the first of the required two test for the CCIE.

My teaching experience stems from teaching at institutions like Palm Beach Community College, New Horizons, Florida Career College (now Anthem College) and The Academy of South Florida not to mention that I also do private consulting.

Now, I bring the classroom to you by being in several e-Learning platforms world-wide, teaching over 100K students...courtesy of the internet. Thank goodness for technology! ;-)

Having been in all sides of the spectrum; as a student, a teacher/trainer, and in the field, I believe this uniquely qualifies me to understand you, the student. I know first hand what you have been exposed to as opposed to what you really want to accomplish. These two are sometimes extremely conflicting and frustrating. That is why I teach in the manner I do and can relate to your rejection of the Status Quo.

I have taught corporate employees at MetroPCS (now T-Mobile) and have also taught IT professionals of companies like The Florida Marlins, Ulysse Nardin, Alberta Water Department (Canada), The Assurant Group, Hospital personnel & Attorney's firms, among others. to guide them in acquiring their IT certifications or general knowledge.

However, my expertice also extends to being able to teach applications as well. YES!...I am also an applications instructor and qualified to teach Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Access.This of course includes the MOS (Microsoft Office Specialist) certification.

As you can see, I am a multifaceted person and consider myself to be an eternal student as well.

I teach in an unconventional way that allows for students to understand the subject matter and can therefore, not only prepare them for a Cisco, Microsoft or CompTIA certification exam, but apply my methods in the real world. I strive to give the student a greater opportunity to compete in the current job markets. Do I go above and beyond what is needed for a certification?...YES, I do!...because it's not only about getting a certification, it's also about making sure that you, the student, is prepared for a job interview and/or maintaining your current job by enhancing your skills. This is where I step in and make sure that you are prepared for whatever you need and make you an asset to your employer. Everyone has different requirements and I make sure, or at least I try, to provide information for most scenarios.

My classes and/or courses are very simple and that's how I like to teach. I truly believe in "KISS",,,NO, I don't want to kiss you, what this means "keep it simple stupid" - If things are kept simple, easily explained in a way that the student can grasp quickly and retain the information...then I have achieved my goal!

For those that do not know me yet, you may not be used to my style of teaching, but you will soon get accustomed to it :)... I'm very laid back, I try to make learning fun and I teach in layman's terms...no physics jargon or mumbo jumbo in my teachings. My courses are very interactive and extremely dynamic!...you will not find my lectures monotone or boring, because falling asleep, for lack of excitement, is just NOT an option. Just take a look for yourself at my video previews, which I always provide on ALL my courses, so you can determine if I'm the right guy to help you get your industry specific certifications. ;)

I certainly hope that after a careful review of my credentials & testimonials (you can Google it you know!), I'm the Cisco, Microsoft or CompTIA Instructor you're looking for!
