CompTIA IT Fundamentals (ITF+) is an introduction to basic IT knowledge and skills that helps you determine whether you have what it takes to work in IT.

OVERVIEW

CompTIA Cloud Essentials+ is an entry-level certification designed for professionals who need a foundational understanding of cloud computing. It covers the basic concepts and principles of cloud technologies and how they impact business operations. The certification focuses on the business and technical aspects of cloud computing, including governance, risk management, and the benefits and challenges of cloud adoption.

Cloud Essentials+ is ideal for non-technical professionals or those in decision-making roles who need to understand the cloud’s impact on the organization. It’s also suited for IT professionals who want to broaden their cloud knowledge without diving into technical details.

CASP+ covers a broad range of topics, including enterprise security, risk management, cryptography, governance, and advanced security solutions. It ensures candidates can assess risks, implement security solutions, and manage complex enterprise environments. Unlike other certifications that focus more on management, CASP+ emphasizes technical skills for leading enterprise security operations.
