CompTIA Security+ SY0-701 Certification Guide - Third Edition

Domain 1: General Security Concepts

The first domain of the CompTIA Security+ SY0-701 certification focuses on key security concepts and practices. This domain is divided into four chapters, each providing an understanding of different aspects of cybersecurity.

You’ll get an overview of the various types of security controls, such as preventative, deterrent, detective, correcting, compensating, and directive, and the different levels at which security is considered, including technical, managerial, operational, and physical. You’ll also learn about fundamental security concepts, such as the CIA Triad, AAA, Zero Trust, physical security, and different deception technologies.

This section will further discuss the change management process, covering the decision-making processes between stakeholders regarding security concerns that impact business operations and the technical implications of change, documentation, and version control.

Finally, Domain 1 emphasizes the use of cryptographic solutions, such as public keys and encryption and their relevant tools, as well as concepts such as salting, digital signatures, key stretching, blockchains, and certificates.

This section comprises the following chapters:

  • Chapter 1, Compare and contrast various types of security controls
  • Chapter 2, Summarize fundamental security concepts
  • Chapter 3, Explain the importance of change management processes and the impact on security
  • Chapter 4, Explain the importance of using appropriate cryptographic solutions

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
