CompTIA Security+ Practice Test of the Day 260707

By /

Welcome to today’s CompTIA Security+ practice test!

This practice test uses our new UI!

Today’s practice test is based on Subdomain 3.1 (Compare and contrast security implications of different architecture models) from the CompTIA Security+ SY0-701 objectives.

This beginner-level practice test is inspired by the CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) exam and is designed to help you reinforce key cybersecurity concepts on a daily basis.

These questions are not official exam questions, nor are they brain dumps, but they reflect topics and scenarios relevant to the Security+ certification. Use them to test your knowledge, identify areas for improvement, and build daily cybersecurity habits.

CompTIA Security+ Practice Test of the Day 260707
10 questions • Single best answer
Question 1
A cloud architect at a fintech startup must clarify which security duties belong to the provider versus the customer in an IaaS deployment. She references a document mapping each obligation to the responsible party. Which artifact is she using?
    Question 2
    A DevOps team provisions cloud networks and servers using declarative configuration files kept in version control instead of clicking through a console. This ensures consistent, repeatable deployments. Which architecture concept does this describe?
      Question 3
      An application runs as event-driven functions executed on demand by the cloud provider, with no servers for the team to manage or patch. Billing occurs only during execution. Which deployment model is described?
        Question 4
        An engineering team breaks a monolithic application into small, independently deployable components that communicate over APIs. Each can be scaled and updated separately. Which architecture model does this represent?
          Question 5
          A defense contractor keeps a classified network fully disconnected from the internet and any other network, with no physical or wireless links. Data transfers require manual media handling. Which design provides this level of separation?
            Question 6
            A utility company runs systems that monitor and control physical equipment across power substations in real time. Security teams note these environments prioritize availability and often cannot tolerate downtime for updates. Which type of environment is described?
              Question 7
              A team packages an application with its dependencies into lightweight units that share the host operating system kernel and start almost instantly. These units are more portable and lighter than full virtual machines. Which technology is this?
                Question 8
                A hospital relies on an embedded medical device running firmware the vendor no longer updates, yet it cannot be taken offline. Security must compensate because the system cannot receive fixes. Which architectural consideration is the core concern?
                  Question 9
                  By moving email hosting to a SaaS provider, an organization shifts part of the operational and security burden to that vendor under contract. Leadership frames this as offloading exposure to another party. Which consideration best describes this benefit?
                    Question 10
                    An e-commerce platform builds its architecture with redundant, load-balanced servers across multiple zones so a single failure never takes the site down. The goal is continuous uptime during outages. Which design concept does this achieve?
