In this episode, we examine wireless network security configurations, an important topic in the CompTIA IT Fundamentals (ITF+) certification exam. You’ll learn how to change default SSIDs and passwords, choose encryption protocols like WPA2 or WPA3, and secure access with pre-shared keys.

We’ll also discuss disabling unused services, managing guest access, and ensuring that devices on the network are properly secured. These steps will prepare you to recommend or configure secure wireless networks for both the exam and real-world scenarios. Produced by BareMetalCyber.com.

Here, we focus on specific encryption use cases for mobile devices and applications, a topic within the CompTIA IT Fundamentals (ITF+) certification exam. You’ll learn how mobile device encryption protects data if a device is lost or stolen, and how application-level encryption secures sensitive information within apps.

We’ll cover examples from secure messaging platforms, mobile banking apps, and enterprise applications, showing how encryption fits into broader security strategies. This knowledge will help you answer exam questions that address mobile and application security requirements. Produced by BareMetalCyber.com.

Encryption is a fundamental security tool, and this episode explains its role in protecting both data at rest and data in transit for the CompTIA IT Fundamentals (ITF+) certification exam. You’ll learn how file-level, disk-level, and mobile device encryption protect stored data, and how protocols like HTTPS, VPN, and secure email safeguard information during transmission.

We’ll also discuss encryption keys, algorithms, and the importance of proper key management. Mastering these concepts ensures you can identify the correct encryption method for different situations on the exam. Produced by BareMetalCyber.com.
