Security Portion of Network+

BlueRoze

The way my class is laid out we cover security near the end, giving the students only a couple of days to study it. We do talk about Wireless security a little earlier in the course, but that is about it. Since Security is a whole section of the Network+ requirements I am thinking about introducing it a little sooner. Do you feel that knowing a lot about the security side is important for the exam? Would you want more than a one day intro and two days to study all of the material before you are required to take the exam?

We have had some student surveys where students were not very confident while taking the exam so I'm trying to midigate that a little (though we do have a pretty good success rate as far as passing goes).
