About the Flashcards
Flashcards for the CompTIA CySA+ exam give you fast recall of the acronyms, protocols, and security tools that appear again and again on test questions. Each card pairs a succinct abbreviation-such as ACL, APT, BGP, and SIEM-with its full meaning so you can quickly recognize terminology in scenario-based items.
The deck spans core networking protocols, application-layer attacks, cloud and zero-trust architectures, as well as governance frameworks like PCI DSS, ISO, and COBIT. You'll review monitoring tools, incident response roles, recovery metrics, and business continuity concepts, sharpening the vocabulary needed to analyze threats, choose appropriate controls, and interpret compliance requirements under exam pressure.
Topics covered in this flashcard deck:
- Network and internet protocols
- Cyber threats & defenses
- Incident response lifecycle
- Governance, risk & compliance
- Cloud security & zero trust
