Your CompTIA Security+ Certification Questions, Answered

Yes. PrepAwayPDF provides a free PDF demo of the SY0-701 practice questions, so you can check the format and quality before paying anything. Every purchase also includes 365 days of free updates, and once that period expires you can extend the update service at a 50% discount from your member zone.

The SY0-701 exam gives you 90 minutes to work through Maximum 90 questions, so the clock moves faster than most candidates expect. Keep a steady pace on every item, flag the ones that stall you, and circle back with the time you have banked instead of getting stuck. Time pressure is mostly a rehearsal problem: run at least one full timed mock in the PrepAwayPDF test engine before your appointment, and the real countdown will feel familiar rather than threatening.

The SY0-701 exam — officially titled CompTIA Security+ Certification Exam — is the CompTIA test you pass to earn the CompTIA Security+ certification. It sits at the Entry-Level level of the CompTIA certification program. Related certifications include CompTIA A+, CompTIA Network+, CompTIA CySA+, CompTIA CASP+. If that is the credential you are after, the 916 practice questions at PrepAwayPDF map directly to its official objectives.

The CompTIA Security+ Certification blueprint is organized into 5 domains. The first three are:

  • Implementation (25%)
  • Governance, Risk & Compliance (14%)
  • Operations & Incident Response (16%)

The complete, current topic list appears in the exam outline section above — review it before you start drilling the PrepAwayPDF practice questions.

Recommended: CompTIA Network+ and 2 years of experience in IT administration with a security focus. Not required but highly recommended.

Eligibility rules do change, so confirm the current requirements on the official exam page before you apply: https://www.comptia.org/certifications/security#examdetails.

If you take the corresponding SY0-701 exam within 60 days of purchase and do not pass, you can apply for a full refund under our money-back guarantee. Send a scanned copy of your exam enrollment slip together with the official Score Report PDF within 2 days of your exam date, and your claim will be processed within 7 days. Keep in mind that the candidate name must match the purchaser name, and the guarantee does not cover attempts made within 3 days of purchase, materials that were downloaded but never used in an actual exam sitting, free resources, or expired orders. If you would rather keep studying, you can swap the refund for two free exam products of equal value while keeping the update service on your original purchase. Delivery itself is instant: the files are emailed to you within one minute of payment (if nothing arrives within 2 hours, check your spam folder and contact our support team), and there is no limit on how many computers you install them on.

The passing score for the SY0-701 exam is 750 (scale of 100-900), and the official registration fee is $370 USD. Remember that an unsuccessful attempt means paying the full $370 USD again to retake it, so booking too early is the expensive way to find out you are not ready. Test yourself with the PrepAwayPDF practice questions first; once you can clear 750 (scale of 100-900) comfortably on timed runs, scheduling the real exam becomes a much safer bet.

CompTIA Security+ Certification Sample Questions:

You are security administrator investigating a potential infection on a network.
Click on each host and firewall. Review all logs to determine which host originated the Infecton and then deny each remaining hosts clean or infected.

Correct Answer:


Explanation:
A screenshot of a computer AI-generated content may be incorrect.

Based on the logs, it seems that the host that originated the infection is 192.168.10.22. This host has a suspicious process named svchost.exe running on port 443, which is unusual for a Windows service. It also has a large number of outbound connections to different IP addresses on port 443, indicating that it is part of a botnet.
The firewall log shows that this host has been communicating with 10.10.9.18, which is another infected host on the engineering network. This host also has a suspicious process named svchost.exe running on port 443, and a large number of outbound connections to different IP addresses on port 443.
The other hosts on the R & D network (192.168.10.37 and 192.168.10.41) are clean, as they do not have any suspicious processes or connections.
