About CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701)
Pune's Hinjawadi and Kharadi parks house IT services alongside a large automotive and engineering supplier base, and both now carry formal security obligations. Suppliers moving up the value chain find buyers demanding information-security governance, while shared-services centres in Kharadi consolidate audit and access-review work for their parents abroad.
The automotive angle matters more here than anywhere else in the programme. Plant systems, supplier portals and quality data sit on-premise because of latency and safety, so the security estate is genuinely hybrid — segmentation between plant and office, controlled supplier access, and evidence that survives a customer audit are daily problems rather than theoretical ones.
This Pune page carries the same 12-week, 72-hour CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) syllabus, faculty and assessment as the master programme, delivered live online and in hybrid format, with classroom batches at our Thoraipakkam centre.
Course Overview
12-week CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) training (72 hours) covering general security concepts, threats and vulnerabilities, security architecture, operations and program oversight. Live online and classroom.
Why Learn CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701)
Automotive suppliers connecting plant systems to office networks need people who can design and evidence the segmentation, and there is very little local supply of that combined skill.
Kharadi shared-services centres run access review and control testing for parents abroad, which puts audit method alongside general security knowledge in the same role.
US-listed parents run SOX testing from Pune, creating recurring seasonal demand for people who can evidence access controls rather than merely configure them.

Who Should Join This Course
- System Administrators — Adding a security specialism to an operations role
- Network Engineers — Moving from connectivity into security ownership
- Help Desk and Support Staff — Targeting the first dedicated security role
- Fresh Graduates — Entering security without prior experience or a degree in it
- Developers — Needing security vocabulary for their own code reviews
- Career Switchers — Coming from IT support or QA into security
Prerequisites
No prior security certification is required unless the course page says otherwise. You need comfort with basic networking — IP addressing, TCP/IP, DNS and what a firewall does — and the discipline to sit a timed multiple-choice exam. Everything specific to the certification, including its vocabulary and its question style, is taught from the start.
Learning Objectives
- Explain the core security concepts the exam tests: CIA, zero trust and control types
- Classify threats, attack surfaces and vulnerabilities, and pick the right mitigation
- Design a secure network, cloud and hybrid architecture against a stated requirement
- Run the operational side: monitoring, hardening, patching and baseline configuration
- Apply identity, access and public-key cryptography correctly rather than by rote
- Map controls to a security program: risk, compliance, governance and oversight
- Answer scenario-based multiple-choice questions by ruling options out, not guessing
- Sit SY0-701 with a timed practice score that predicts a real pass
Certification Objectives Covered
The syllabus follows the published CompTIA Security+ SY0-701 objectives: CompTIA Security+ SY0-701, Network Security, Cryptography and PKI, Identity and Access Management, Threat Analysis, Risk Management together with the published SY0-701 objective set, timed practice-exam method, and the exam-day strategy session covering pacing and answer elimination.
Career Opportunities After This Programme
- Security Analyst (entry)
- SOC Analyst (L1)
- IT Security Administrator
- Information Security Specialist
- Help Desk Security Analyst
- Junior GRC Analyst
Hands-on Practice and Capstone
Capstone: Sit a full 90-question SY0-701 practice exam under timed conditions with no pauses and no notes, score it by domain rather than in total, then rebuild a two-week revision plan around the two weakest domains. The capstone is defended by sitting a second timed exam and showing the domain scores moved, plus a written exam-day plan covering time budget, flagging and your review pass order.
Production scenario: A practice exam comes back at 72% overall, which looks fine until the domain breakdown shows security operations at 90% and security architecture at 51%. Work out whether the failure is knowledge or reading, fix the specific architecture sub-topics that cost the marks, and prove it with a second timed attempt where that domain moves without the others slipping.
Course Duration, Mode and Certification
The course runs for 12 weeks (72 hours), three sessions a week of two hours each. Modes: Classroom / Live Online / Hybrid. Certificate issued: SkilBrill Course Completion Certificate. This programme prepares you for the CompTIA Security+ SY0-701 exam, which is booked and paid for with the vendor separately from the course fee.
Is classroom training available in Pune? Classroom batches run at our Thoraipakkam centre in Chennai. Learners in Pune join the same live online or hybrid cohort taught by the same faculty, with the same assessment and placement support.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is CompTIA Security+ training at SkilBrill?
It is exam preparation for SY0-701, taught on the published domain structure: general security concepts, threats and vulnerabilities, security architecture, security operations, and program management and oversight. SkilBrill runs it over 12 weeks and 72 hours and finishes with a timed practice exam and an exam-day plan.
Is this the same as the Cybersecurity course?
No. The Cybersecurity course is a broad skill track across network, endpoint, identity, SOC and GRC work with no certification attached. This one is organised entirely around passing SY0-701: the domains, the question style and the exam logistics are the product, and the hands-on work exists to make the questions answerable.
Do I need experience before taking Security+?
CompTIA recommends a couple of years of IT administration with security focus, but the course is written for people who do not have that yet. You should be comfortable with basic networking concepts. The first module builds the vocabulary the rest of the exam assumes.
What does the syllabus cover?
Eight modules: the five SY0-701 exam domains in exam order, cryptography and PKI in practice, identity and access with real tooling, and a capstone built on a full timed practice exam with exam-day strategy.
What is the duration and fee?
12 weeks, three sessions a week of two hours each, totalling 72 classroom hours. Fees are ₹35,000 – ₹60,000 depending on batch and mode, which places it in the entry band.
Does this course include the exam voucher?
The course prepares you for SY0-701 and supports you through booking the exam and choosing a test centre or online proctor. The exam fee itself is payable to CompTIA or your testing partner and is separate from the course fee.
What jobs can I get after Security+?
Entry security analyst, SOC analyst level one, IT security administrator and help desk security analyst. In India these typically start at ₹4.5–12 LPA, with SOC roles rising quickly once you have shift experience.
Is classroom training available in Pune?
No. SkilBrill's classroom runs only in Chennai. Learners in Pune join the same live online / hybrid cohort taught by the Chennai faculty, with proctored labs and the same placement support.
Which companies hire for these skills in Pune?
Learners in Pune typically target a mix of MNCs and startups such as Infosys, Wipro, TCS, Capgemini. The programme's placement support applies equally to Pune learners.
