CompTIA Network+ — Network Security

What’s covered in our CompTIA Network+ Network Security Practice Test?

Our Network Security Practice Test is designed to help you prepare for the CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) certification exam by testing your knowledge of network security principles, tools, and best practices. This test focuses on the skills needed to secure network environments, monitor for threats, and respond to security incidents.

In this practice test, you’ll review questions covering:

Network security fundamentals

Test your understanding of core security principles, including confidentiality, integrity, and availability (CIA triad), and how they relate to network security.

Firewall and intrusion prevention systems

Evaluate your knowledge of firewalls, network access controls, intrusion detection systems (IDS), and intrusion prevention systems (IPS) used to secure a network.

Encryption and VPNs

Learn how encryption works to secure data, both at rest and in transit, and how Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) protect remote access to network resources.

Wireless network security

Review security measures for wireless networks, including WEP, WPA, WPA2, and newer standards, and the risks and mitigations for wireless communication.

Security policies and procedures

Test your knowledge of network security policies, including authentication methods, network monitoring, and incident response procedures.

Network vulnerabilities and threat management

Evaluate your understanding of common network vulnerabilities, malware threats, and how to perform vulnerability scanning and patch management.

Access control and authentication

Understand how to implement and manage user authentication methods, including multi-factor authentication (MFA), access control lists (ACLs), and role-based access control (RBAC).
