SYO-701 General Security Concepts
Security covers a broad range of concepts, but you won’t be able to understand the more involved ones without having a solid foundation of basic security knowledge. That’s what the questions in this area cover. Consult this study guide to determine what is covered in the general security concepts questions.
SYO-701 Security Architecture
Ensuring proper functioning of a security system requires solid understanding of its structure. The terms and ideas related to security architecture are outlined in this study guide to help you find out what you know and gain information about things that still give you trouble.
SYO-701 Security Operations
Security operations cover the day-to-day occurrences as well as the broader spectrum of an overarching plan. Sometimes, this plan requires adjustment, but you will only know this if you are very familiar with how things are supposed to run. Use this study guide to learn about the topics involved in security operations so you can identify your study needs in this area.
SYO-701 Security Program Management and Oversight
Even a thoroughly thought-out and constructed security system requires oversight and management to keep it functioning at an optimal level. This study guide will walk you through everything involved in this area of security.
SYO-701 Threats, Vulnerabilities, and Mitigations
Ensuring the security of a system requires the assessment of sources of threats and possible vulnerabilities within the system. In addition, remedies must be established and future procedures must be implemented to prevent additional damage. All facets of this are covered in this study guide to help you know what will be assessed in this area on the CompTIA Security+ Exam.
