I will start teaching a new course called  Cybersecurity Essentials, fall of 2019. The course map to the ConpTIA Security+ certification exam. I reviewed three books and selected Pearson IT Certification CompTIA Security+ SY0-501 Cert Guide by David L Prowse (ISBN13: 978-0-7897-5912-2). I found the book is comprehensive and covered all the topics covered by the EC-Council CEHv9 exam. I am going to use NDG Security+ lab series. Most of these labs were originally developed by NISGTC. I did the twenty five labs step by step and found they are comprehensive and they overlap with the ethical hacking course labs. I believe the course will be very challenging for the students at this level, because most of the lab are Linux based. I also believe the course will be very popular and can replace the ethical hacking course. However, CompTIA developed a new certification exam called PenTest+ which is designed to follow the security+ exam.
