the Right Solution For Your Business

Traditional IT security
In the traditional IT framework, businesses used to purchase, install, and maintain your IT devices on-site. For years, the traditional cloud has been used by businesses to collect, store and manage the data for various operations.

CompTIA lists the question types as being either multiple choice or performance-based. The possibility of various question types may cause some anxiety as some people worry about the possibility of several elaborate performance tasks on the exam. Relax. All security practitioners should be able to configure basic access control lists and firewall rules, syslog, SSH connections, and SNMP. This is a vendor-neutral exam so there will not be any complex configurations beyond the fundamentals.

I strongly recommend you know how to configure an IPsec IKEv1 site-to-site VPN with pre-shared keys between two routers. Even if you do not use it in the exam, it is a valuable skill since so many organizations use solutions like Amazon Web Services (AWS).

Also, be aware that the “use of open-source intelligence” exam objective does not refer to using open-source code. Do yourself a favor and search the web for “OSINT” before the exam.

Although cryptography and PKI are only about 12% of the exam, I recommend watching “The Art Of the Problem” videos from Brit Cruise on YouTube to help prepare for that bank of questions. AES-GCM-128 (or 256) and elliptic curve are also very popular algorithms and modes, so make sure you have those bases covered.

Furthermore, the traditional cloud would allow you to choose a security plan for data security. In other words, you can have the freedom to decide which security device you will purchase to manage and defend your data from the possible threats. Also, you will be responsible for responding to the threats and maintaining the disaster recovery plan.
