Cyber Security

Threats, defense, cryptography, network security, and security operations fundamentals.

About this event

Cyber Security covers the breadth of CompTIA Security+ level material. Expect questions on threat types (malware families, phishing, MITM, DDoS), cryptographic concepts (symmetric vs. asymmetric, hashing, PKI), network security (firewalls, IDS/IPS, VPNs), access control models, security operations (SOC, incident response), and policy/compliance basics. Many topics overlap with Networking Infrastructures.
