CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) — Study Hub

Prepare for CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) with a streamlined, blueprint-aligned funnel:

• Overview: Format, who it’s for, scoring, skills measured, and a compact study plan.
• Syllabus: Objectives by domain to guide daily sprints and targeted drills.
• Cheatsheet: High-yield tables, diagrams, and quick pickers for last-mile recall.
• Practice: Timed drills and full mocks that match live-exam tone and coverage.
• FAQ: Clear answers to common candidate questions and pacing tips.
• Resources: Official exam page, NIST/OWASP references, and lab tooling.
• Updates: Blueprint/version changes and what we adjusted.

What SY0-701 emphasizes:

• Threats, Attacks & Vulnerabilities: attacker goals/TTPs, threat intel, common exploits, security testing basics.
• Architecture & Design: secure network/cloud/identity designs, segmentation, zero trust, resilient architectures.
• Implementation: identity & access (MFA, federation), crypto & PKI, endpoint/network/cloud controls, hardening & automation.
• Operations & Incident Response: monitoring, triage, evidence handling, containment/eradication/recovery, continuity.
• Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC): policies/standards, risk analysis, privacy, frameworks, legal/ethics.

Tip: In scenario items, prefer answers that are least-privilege, defense-in-depth, secure-by-default, and operationally realistic for the environment described.
