About the Flashcards

Flashcards for the CompTIA Security+ exam offer a focused review of core IT and cybersecurity acronyms and definitions. The deck covers identity and access (AAA, MFA, SSO, OAuth, SAML), cryptography and certificates (PKI, TLS, CSR, OCSP, CRL), network protocols and devices (DNS, DHCP, IP, NIC, SFP), and cloud/DevOps basics (SaaS, IaC, CI/CD, CSPM).

Use these cards to memorize abbreviations, clarify definitions, and link terms to exam scenarios. Focus areas include risk and recovery metrics (ALE, SLE, ARO, RPO, RTO, MTBF, MTTR), detection and response (IDS, IPS, SIEM, SOAR, EDR, XDR), and messaging and web protections (DKIM, SPF, DMARC, WAF). Short, repeatable prompts build quick recall of terminology and key concepts commonly tested.

Topics covered in this flashcard deck:

  • Authentication & access
  • Cryptography & certificates
  • Network protocols & devices
  • Detection & response systems
  • Risk & recovery metrics
  • Email & web security
