CompTIA Security+
Security+ practice questions, dealt by the exam blueprint
Multiple choice and performance-based questions, on screen, with no documentation at all. So this drills recognition until it holds, puts controls on network diagrams and evidence in front of you the way its performance-based questions do, and a full mock of the paper — 90 questions in 90 minutes.
flashkube is a flashcard game for certification exams, built for Kubernetes and extended to the Security+ paper. Miss a card and it comes back sooner; answer it well and it rests. That is spaced repetition, and it is the whole engine.

A widely used open-source logging library publishes a critical advisory on a Friday evening. The security team must know within the hour which of its 140 internal applications include that library, including where it arrives as a dependency of another dependency. Which practice provides this?
- ADynamic analysis of every application in staging
- BA dark web threat feed subscription for the library's name
- CA full rescan of every server with the network vulnerability scanner
- DPackage monitoring against each build's software bill of materials

How many Security+ cards are there?
6 islands · 27 landings
415 cards written for Security+, across 6 islands and 27 landings — counted from the cartridge itself, not written into this sentence. Cards are tagged per exam, so this is what a Security+ candidate actually gets, not the whole library.
What is on the Security+ exam, and how much of each?
official blueprint weights
- General Security Concepts12%
- Threats, Vulnerabilities, and Mitigations22%
- Security Architecture18%
- Security Operations28%
- Security Program Management and Oversight20%
Your daily hand is sampled against these weights, so the domain worth a quarter of the exam gets a quarter of your practice.
How does the Security+ exam run, and what does that change?
90 questions · 90 minutes
Multiple choice and performance-based questions, on screen, with no documentation at all.
So the cartridge drills recognition and nothing else: no typing drills, no documentation practice, because the exam has neither.
No lab is needed for a written exam: the whole preparation is what you can recall on the day, and recall is exactly what this drills.
Which version of the Security+ exam does this cover?
The cartridge is built to the SY0-701 exam objectives. The next version, SY0-801, is expected on or around November 17, 2026; SY0-701 stays bookable until it retires, and no retirement date has been published yet. When the SY0-801 objectives are final, the cartridge moves to them.
Why Security+ beside CKA?
Security+ is among the certifications recognized in the US defense department's cyber workforce qualification program (DoD Manual 8140.03, which replaced DoD 8570.01-M), which is why federal teams and their contractors so often ask for it. Which roles it qualifies for is set by the program's current qualification matrices. Kubernetes work on those teams often asks for both: Security+ for the workforce qualification, CKA for the cluster. One cartridge opens both seas, and a finished Security+ route hands you to CKA.
for government teams — the site license, SSO and the training record →
What comes after Security+?
A finished Security+ route hands you to CKA, on the same cartridge. It also holds the skills shelf: the platform stack and the observability skill, built on a generic two-cluster production platform and graded at a terminal; and the K9s tender, a drill over a tool's own keys with no clock — for the job after the paper, and nothing bought separately.
What does Security+ prep on flashkube cost?
$29, paid once. Nothing renews and nothing lapses — and every card written after you buy is already yours. Three islands of free water, from wherever you land, and ten Security+ questions dealt by the blueprint free, with no account.
