How long does IT take to get Security+ certified?

A: The CompTIA Security+ certification is a well-recognized and respected credential in the IT industry. It validates an individual's knowledge and skills in relation to cybersecurity. To obtain this certification, candidates must pass a rigorous exam that covers a wide range of topics.
