By: Ian Neil

Overview of this book

CompTIA Security+ is a core security certification that will validate your baseline skills for a career in cybersecurity. Passing this exam will not only help you identify security incidents but will also equip you to resolve them efficiently. This book builds on the popular CompTIA Security+ Certification Guide, which mirrors the SY0-501 exam pattern. This practice test-based guide covers all six domains of the Security+ SY0-501 exam: threats, attacks, and vulnerabilities; technologies and tools; architecture and design; identity and access management; cryptography and PKI; and risk management. You’ll take six mock tests designed as per the official Security+ certification exam pattern, each covering significant aspects from an examination point of view. For each domain, the book provides a dedicated cheat sheet that includes important concepts covered in the test. You can even time your tests to simulate the actual exam. These tests will help you identify gaps in your knowledge and discover answers to tricky exam questions. By the end of this book, you’ll have developed and enhanced the skills necessary to pass the official CompTIA Security+ exam.

Identity and Access Management Practice Tests

One of the crucial areas in IT security is controlling access to computer systems to ensure that only authorized people should have access. For the CompTIA Security+ exam, we must be able to compare and contrast identity access management concepts such as identification, authorizing, and accounting with an AAA server. We also need to understand the different types of access, such as something you know, such as a password and pin; something you do, such as swiping a card; and something you have, such as a token. Creating authentication environments such as federation services are heavily tested.

The second area that is tested in the Security+ exam is all about installing and configuring identity services such as LDAP, Kerberos, TACACS+ not RACACS+, CHAP, PAP, MSCHAP not MMSCHAP, RADIUS, SAML, Open ID Connect, OAuth, secure, and NTLM...
