CompTIA Cloud+

Course Length: 5 days

CompTIA Cloud+ CV0-002 provides the basic knowledge and skills needed to analyze, select, monitor, and protect cloud resources in a vendor-neutral format; this includes vulnerability management, network reconnaissance and monitoring, connecting networks to clouds, cloud migration, secure policies and procedures, host and network security, identity management systems, and incident response. This course maps to the CompTIA Cloud+ CV0-002 certification exam. Objective coverage is marked throughout the course.

This course assumes that students have some applied knowledge of computers, networks, and cybersecurity principles. Knowledge equivalent to the CompTIA Security+ certification is helpful but not necessary.
