What SY0-701 emphasizes:
- Threats, Attacks & Vulnerabilities: attacker goals/TTPs, threat intel, common exploits, security testing basics.
- Architecture & Design: secure network/cloud/identity designs, segmentation, zero trust, resilient architectures.
- Implementation: identity & access (MFA, federation), crypto & PKI, endpoint/network/cloud controls, hardening & automation.
- Operations & Incident Response: monitoring, triage, evidence handling, containment/eradication/recovery, continuity.
- Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC): policies/standards, risk analysis, privacy, frameworks, legal/ethics.
Tip: In scenario items, prefer answers that are least-privilege, defense-in-depth, secure-by-default, and operationally realistic for the environment described.
