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.

Practice Test 5 – Solution

1. Because there is no allow rule for FTP or TCP port 21, explicit deny will be applied, preventing the download.

2. Port security disables the ports and reduces the functionality of the switch, however, 802.1x authenticates the device, so the ports remain open with rogue devices being prevented access.

3. Using IPSec between servers uses transport mode, but when IPSec is used over the internet, it uses tunnel mode.

4. A stateful firewall inspects incoming traffic down to the commands used and packet sizes and would realize that the three-way handshake is not being established and would prevent the SYN flood attack.

5. The role of the VPN concentrator is to set up the secure session for the VPN connection.
