Security Plus License
Olympia Brackin
The CompTIA Security+ certification validates that you have the core skills necessary for a career in IT security. For many aspiring cybersecurity professionals, earning this popular entry-level certification can be a first step toward a rewarding, in-demand career.
There are no formal requirements to take the Security+ exam. CompTIA recommends that you have two years of experience in IT administration with a security focus. It may also be a good idea to have an up-to-date CompTIA Network+ certification first.
But there are other potential benefits as well. Preparing for the exam can be a good way to develop your cybersecurity skills, giving you greater confidence in your ability to handle real-world security threats.
The CompTIA Security+ is one of seven certifications approved by the US Department of Defense as an information assurance (IA) baseline certification. Earning this certification meets the minimum certification requirement for IAT Level II jobs.
Earning your Security+ is a major accomplishment. It could also be the first step in a long career in cybersecurity. As you advance in the field, you may choose to pursue other certifications to qualify you for better opportunities. Read more about some of the most popular certifications (and how to get them).
Launch a successful cybersecurity career
Develop a core foundation of essential skills, paving the way for a fulfilling career. More job roles use Security+ for baseline cybersecurity skills than any other certification in the industry.
Assess on-the-job skills
Security+ is the most widely adopted ISO/ANSI-accredited early career cybersecurity certification on the market with hands-on, performance-based questions on the certification exam. These practical questions assess your ability to effectively problem solve in real-life situations and demonstrate your expertise to potential employers immediately.
Embrace the latest trends
Understand and use the most recent advancements in cybersecurity technology, terms, techniques, and tools. By acquiring early career skills in the latest trends such as automation, zero trust, risk analysis, operational technology, and IoT, you will be well-equipped to excel in the ever-evolving cybersecurity landscape.
CompTIA Security+ is compliant with ISO 17024 standards and approved by the U.S. DoD to meet Directive 8140.03M requirements. Regulators and government rely on ANSI accreditation because it provides confidence and trust in the outputs of an accredited program. Over 3 million CompTIA ISO/ANSI-accredited exams have been delivered since January 1, 2011.

I am just trying not to buy an overkill hardware if i am unable to use it due to a different license based engagement. Will the 5505 with Security Plus license be equal to a 5506-x with the same license, or does it provide a tad more protection.
Licensing on the 5506 is different. The restrictions of the Base-License are very likely not relevant for a home setup. But the 5506 gives NextGen firewalling with Firepower. Here you find the best protection for your network, but this is the subscription and it's quite complex to configure.
I think it's not only Cisco. For up-to-date protection, you need permanent feedback from the vendor for malware-info, IPS-signatures, CnC-info and so on. All vendors of NextGeneration Firewalls sell that as a subscription.
It's more the personal choice. Also with open-source you can build a great home-firewall. If you consider using pfSense (which is great, I run it myself too), you should also evaluate OPNsense if that fits your needs better than pfSense.
OpenDNS knows much about malicious systems on the internet and when a user asks for something malicious, openDNS returns a modified answer for this request. But there are no signatures as it's not an IPS. A NGFW like FirePower will give you more control and security, but with openDNS you can increase the security of your setup in an easy and cheap way. OpenDNS is also independent of the firewall, you can use it with an ASA or any other firewall.
UTM9 is free but is limited to 50 IP's (a bit like the old PIX license) and something like 32000 connections. Sophos' next iteration, Sophos XG is a mashup of UTM9 and Cyberoam. It has most of the IPS/Web protection of UTM9 but a much more sensible home licensing option where it is limited to 4 cores and 6GB of RAM. It's still free (for home use) by the way.
It would be great if Cisco would or could do something similar for ASA and Firepower. One of the best ways to learn in my experience is with practical hands on every day use and we don't all have access to firewalls with these license options at work.
