About the SY0-701 Exam

The SY0-701 exam launched on November 7, 2023, replacing the retired SY0-601. It's a sharper, more focused exam (28 objectives vs. the old 37) that reflects today's real cybersecurity workflows — including zero trust, hybrid cloud, automation, IoT, and OT security.

Exam at a glance:

• Length: 90 minutes

• Questions: Up to 90 (multiple-choice + performance-based)

• Passing score: 750 on a scale of 100–900

What You'll Master in This Course

We cover every single SY0-701 exam objective across all five official domains — nothing left out, nothing padded:

1. General Security Concepts — CIA triad, security controls, change management, cryptography fundamentals, PKI

2. Threats, Vulnerabilities & Mitigations — threat actors, attack vectors, malware, social engineering, mitigation techniques

3. Security Architecture — cloud & hybrid models, zero trust, network design, data protection, resilience

4. Security Operations — incident response, SIEM, monitoring, digital forensics, identity & access management, vulnerability management

5. Security Program Management & Oversight — governance, risk management, third-party risk, compliance (GRC), audits

Course Structure Built for Exam Success

We've broken the entire SY0-701 syllabus into 11 core modules and 46 focused chapters — bite-sized lessons you can complete on your commute, your lunch break, or over a weekend.

Every section builds on the last. Concepts like encryption, authentication, and risk management appear in multiple contexts, and you'll see exactly how each term connects across the real-world security landscape — the same way CompTIA tests them on exam day.

NEW: Practice Questions & Instructor Walkthrough

At the end of the course, you'll get exclusive access to our Practice Questions & Instructor Walkthrough section — a complete video bank where your instructor sits down and solves real CompTIA Security+ style questions on camera, step by step.

This isn't a silent PDF of questions with an answer key at the back. You'll watch your instructor:

• Break down each question word by word — learning how to spot what CompTIA is really asking

• Eliminate wrong answers strategically — the exact technique to go from 4 options to 1 confident answer

• Explain the reasoning behind every correct answer, tied back to the exam objective it tests

• Flag trap answers — the "almost right" choices CompTIA uses to trip up unprepared candidates

• Share exam-day tactics — time management, PBQ (performance-based question) strategy, and how to handle questions you don't know

By the time you finish this section, you won't just know the material — you'll know how to take the test. This is where most students jump from "I think I'm ready" to "I know I'm ready."

Real Exam Prep — Not Just Theory

• Practice questions at the end of every section, modeled after real CompTIA exam questions

• A full instructor-led walkthrough section at the end of the course solving practice questions on video

• Focused explanations — we cut the fluff and teach exactly what's on the test

• Memory-reinforcing examples you'll actually remember under pressure

• Cross-referenced topics so key concepts stick long after the exam

By the End of This Course, You Will Be Able To:

• Pass the CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) exam with confidence
