Why build your own Security+ deck

Most people preparing for the Security+ exam study from a textbook, a slide deck and a pile of their own notes, and none of that arrives as cards. Anki flashcards for Security+ can be built from exactly that material, so the terms you review are the ones your course covers.

  • One card per acronym, attack type or security control
  • Spaced repetition brings back cards you are about to forget
  • Quizzes with explanations cover scenario-style questions
  • Plus lets you export to Anki, PDF, DOCX or CSV
Example Security+ flashcards on encryption and threats
What is the difference between symmetric and asymmetric encryption?Symmetric encryption uses one shared key to encrypt and decrypt, which is fast for bulk data. Asymmetric encryption uses a public and private key pair, which simplifies key distribution but runs more slowly.
How does spear phishing differ from phishing?Phishing is broad, untargeted fraud sent to many people. Spear phishing targets a specific person or organization and uses personal details to look credible.
What does the principle of least privilege mean?Users and processes receive only the access they need for their tasks and nothing more, which limits damage if an account is compromised.
What is a SIEM?Security information and event management collects and correlates logs from across a network to flag suspicious activity for analysts.
What is a honeypot?A honeypot is a decoy system set up to attract attackers so their methods can be observed without risking production systems.

Built from your own material

Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text file or a photo of a page. The cards cover what your course actually teaches.

Spaced repetition

Cards you are about to forget come back sooner, so review time goes to the terms that need it most.

Export to Anki

On the Plus plan, export your deck to Anki, along with PDF, DOCX and CSV files.

How it works

Upload your study material

Add your Security+ textbook chapters, slides or notes in any supported format.

Review the generated flashcards

Check the cards, edit anything unclear and start studying in the browser with spaced repetition.

Export to Anki if you want

Plus users can move the deck into Anki and keep studying on desktop or mobile.

If you were hoping to download a ready-made deck, a custom one usually serves you better. Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or a photo of a printed page, and DeckOwl produces flashcards you can review with spaced repetition. Photos are read with text recognition before cards are made.

Security is a dense subject, so split the deck by domain and keep each card to one idea. Pair flashcards with quizzes for scenario-style questions, which are harder to memorize as single cards.

Which Security+ topics work best as flashcards?
