- Module 1 maps the first CompTIA SYO-701 domain,
General Security Concepts.
Now this domain focuses on fundamental concepts,
both longstanding and emerging,
including the control environment,
security and privacy principles, zero trust,
physical and environmental security,
configuration and change management,
and one of my favorite topics, cryptography,
inclusive of classical and quantum encryption,
hashing, digital signatures, and digital certificates.
Now there are four lessons and 15 sub lessons
in this module, which aligned to the CompTIA SYO-701
exam outline.
At the end of every sub lesson
there's a three second challenge,
a security and action case study, and a word cloud.
And at the completion of each lesson,
together we'll work through a deep dive quiz.
And at the end of the module,
you'll find three closer look labs covering honeypots,
hashing in H-Max, and digital certificates.
Now the exam weighting for this domain is 12%.
Module 1, General Security Concepts,
is so important because it's a building block
for every other topic that we'll be studying.
So you're ready?
Let's get started.
