Courses

The MDTS Security+ Training Program is a comprehensive, vendor-neutral course designed to prepare
students for the CompTIA Security+ certification exam — one of the most globally recognized credentials in
foundational cybersecurity. This program equips learners with the skills and knowledge needed to identify and mitigate
risks, secure systems, and ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability (CIA) of information assets.

Students will gain a deep understanding of network, application, information, and operational security
through hands-on labs and scenario-based learning. The course also covers relevant
laws, policies, and best practices to ensure compliance and effective risk management in both public and private
sector environments.
