What the questions cover
Security+ covers general security concepts, threats and mitigations, security architecture, security operations, and programme management and oversight. The questions include control types, non-repudiation, asymmetric algorithms, salting, business email compromise, ransomware, SQL injection, zero-days, least privilege, Zero Trust, MFA factors, SIEM, incident response order, RTO and RPO, backup types, screened subnets, SSH, WPA3-Enterprise, certificate revocation, tokenisation, policies, penetration test types, credential stuffing and risk responses.
A sample question explained
"Which backup type copies all changes since the last full backup, and grows each day?" The answer is differential. A differential backup always contains everything changed since the last full backup, so restoring needs only the full backup plus the latest differential. An incremental backup contains only changes since the last backup of any kind, so it's smaller but a restore needs the full backup plus every incremental in order.
If you get 18 of 25 right, that's 72% here. The real exam is scaled from 100 to 900 and includes performance-based questions; check CompTIA for the current version and passing score.
