Lab Notes: Final Security+ Prep and IT Documentation Updates
RON1N01 Lab Notes
Security+ Review — Final Prep Phase
Dedicated to tightening the final bolts before exam day.
I focused heavily on Section 3 (Security Architecture) and Section 4 (Operations) questions, reviewing missed items and dissecting why each answer was right or wrong.
Key Concepts Reviewed
-
Network Appliance Identification:
Confirmed that a device concealing internal IPs, filtering ads, and applying content control corresponds to a proxy server, not a firewall or UTM. -
Web Application Firewall (WAF) Rules:
Reaffirmed that preventing basic SQL injection attacks is best handled by filtering out single quotes ('), not by blocking all SQL statements or AND/OR operators. -
Impact Analysis Steps:
Reviewed the correct order: request for change → initial assessment → impact & risk analysis → mitigation planning → approval → implementation → monitoring. -
Interconnection Security Agreement (ISA):
Defines the technical and security requirements for securely connecting two organizations’ systems to ensure protected and monitored data transmission. -
802.1X & EAP:
802.1X enforces port-based network access control, while EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) provides the framework for authentication within that process.
Evening Reflection
Wrapped up at 9:45 PM after completing the final review sheet.

Summary:
Final Security+ prep day complete. Core weaknesses identified and corrected. Documentation polished and systems refined.
Mindset steady, readiness achieved — exam next.
