James Stanger, chief technology evangelist at CompTIA, walks through their new Data+ certification. Infosec is proud to provide bootcamp and course training for a range of CompTIA certifications, and James helpfully breaks down the basics of data analytics, the types of learning you\u2019ll need to engage in to pass and why security professionals have a lot more data analyst in their job role than they might think. All that, and a bit of geeking out about the humanities.
