Given a scenario, apply security principles to secure enterprise infrastructure

Introduction

This chapter covers the second objective in Domain 3.0, Security Architecture, of the CompTIA Security+ exam.

In this chapter, we will investigate methods of applying security principles for enterprise infrastructure, considering both the importance of device placement and the creation of security zones to ensure all of our data is not in the same area of the network. After that, we’ll look at different security appliances and their uses, including firewall types, so that we can choose the best one for a given scenario. In the final sections, we will review several methods of secure communication and access and the selection of secure controls.
