Threats and vulnerabilities, cryptography fundamentals, network security architecture, identity and access management, and incident response. The Security+ prep course that builds real understanding — not just exam memorization.
This is a text-first course that links out to the best supporting material on the internet instead of trying to replace it. The goal is to make this the best course on security plus you can find — even without producing a single minute of custom video.
This course is built by engineers who ship security plus systems in production. It reflects how these tools actually behave at scale — not how the documentation describes them.
Every day includes working code examples you can copy, run, and modify right now. The goal is understanding through doing.
Instead of re-explaining existing documentation, this course links to the definitive open-source implementations and the best reference material on security plus available on the internet.
Each day is designed for about an hour of focused reading plus hands-on work. Do the whole course over a week of lunch breaks. No calendar commitment, no live classes, no quizzes.
Each day stands alone. Read them in order for the full picture, or jump straight to the day that answers the question you have today.
Malware taxonomy, social engineering attacks, vulnerability scanning vs pen testing, CVSS scoring, patch management processes, and the threat intelligence feeds that feed enterprise security programs.
Symmetric vs asymmetric encryption, AES, RSA, ECC, hashing (SHA-2, SHA-3), digital signatures, TLS certificate chains, PKI trust models, and the cryptographic failures that cause real-world breaches.
Firewalls (stateful vs NGFW), DMZ design, VLANs, IDS vs IPS, VPN technologies (IPSec, TLS, WireGuard), zero trust architecture principles, and network segmentation strategy.
Authentication factors, SSO with SAML and OIDC, MFA implementation, PAM for privileged accounts, cloud security shared responsibility model, IAM in AWS/Azure, and CASB controls.
The incident response lifecycle (PICERL), digital forensics chain of custody, SIEM and SOAR, exam-day strategy for Security+ performance-based questions, and the domains most likely to appear on SY0-701.
Instead of shooting our own videos, we link to the best deep-dives already on YouTube. Watch them alongside the course. All external, all free, all from builders who ship this stuff.
Comprehensive Security+ exam prep covering all domains with practice questions and exam strategy.
Symmetric/asymmetric encryption, hashing, digital signatures, and TLS certificate chains explained with visual examples.
The principles behind zero trust, how to implement network segmentation, and why the perimeter-based model fails.
The incident response lifecycle, SIEM platforms, log correlation, and forensic investigation procedures.
SSO with SAML and OIDC, MFA implementation, PAM, and cloud IAM — the identity concepts central to modern security architecture.
The best way to deepen understanding is to read the canonical open-source implementations. Clone them, trace the code, understand how the concepts in this course get applied in production.
Community-maintained Security+ exam notes organized by domain — useful alongside this course for focused exam preparation.
Curated security resources — tools, references, and learning materials across offensive and defensive security domains.
OSINT information gathering tool used in recon and threat intelligence. Understanding open-source tools grounds the exam content in real practice.
The OpenSSL source and command-line tool. Running openssl commands to inspect certificates and generate key pairs makes cryptography concrete.
Security+ is the foundational security cert for enterprise IT careers. This course builds the understanding behind the exam content — not just drill questions.
Security knowledge makes you a better developer. This course covers the cryptography, identity, and network concepts every developer working on production systems should understand.
Security+ is required for many DoD 8570 roles. This course covers the SY0-701 exam content with the depth the certification baseline requires.
The 2-day in-person Precision AI Academy bootcamp covers cybersecurity and Security+ certification in depth — hands-on, with practitioners who build AI systems for a living. 5 U.S. cities. $1,490. 40 seats max. June–October 2026 (Thu–Fri).
