CompTIA Network+ validates the technical skills needed to securely establish, maintain and troubleshoot the essential networks that businesses rely on.

Why is it different?

Unlike other vendor-specific networking certifications, CompTIA Network+ prepares candidates to support networks on any platform. It provides the foundation you need to work on networks anywhere.
CompTIA Network+ is the only certification that covers the specific skills that network engineers need. Other certifications are so broad, they don’t cover the hands-on skills and precise knowledge needed to in today’s networking environments.

What’s in this version?

The new CompTIA Network+ focuses on foundational networking tools and technologies used to create secure networks and

guarantee the availability of critical business information.

New updates to the CompTIA Network+ exam domains:
Network architecture appears on the exam for the first time, including software-defined networking, ensuring that candidates understand network integrations and the cutting-edge technologies being used in deployments. Emerging wireless standards and technologies are covered to allow businesses flexibility and maximal security when deploying networks.
Because constant access to both internal networks and SaaS applications drives productivity, network performance monitoringand high availability are covered as separate objectives.
Network security has been streamlined to focus on the critical aspects of hardening networks against malicious attacks and the secure execution of network deployments to protect against unintended data breaches.

About the exam

CompTIA Network+ N10-008 validates the skills required to implement enterprise-level wired and wireless network solutions; identify and troubleshoot network performance issues; and harden networks against threats to mitigate security vulnerabilities.
