Study Security+ from your own material

Security+ covers a lot of ground: ports, threat actors, cryptography, identity, and risk management. Memorizing it card by card from a textbook takes longer than it should, so Anki-ready CompTIA Security+ flashcards made from your own slides and notes are a faster start.

Example CompTIA Security+ flashcards

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 solves the key distribution problem.

What do the letters in the CIA triad stand for?Confidentiality, integrity and availability. These are the three core security goals.

What is the difference between a vulnerability and a threat?A vulnerability is a weakness in a system. A threat is an actor or event that could exploit that weakness.

What is the principle of least privilege?Users and processes get only the access they need for their work, and nothing more, which limits the damage from a compromised account.

What is the default port for HTTPS?TCP 443. HTTP uses TCP 80 by default.

Generate the full set

Built from your material

Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain-text notes or photos of pages. The flashcards cover what your course actually teaches.

Spaced repetition

Cards you miss come back sooner and cards you know are spaced further apart, so review time goes to the hard material.

Anki export

On Plus, export your Security+ deck to Anki and keep studying in the app you already use.

How it works

Upload your notes

Add a PDF, slide deck, text file or photo of your textbook pages. No credit card is needed to start.

Review the flashcards

Check the generated cards against your course material and edit any that need work.

Study and export

Study in the browser with spaced repetition, or export the deck to Anki on Plus.

DeckOwl reads the material you upload and turns key terms, definitions and concepts into question-and-answer cards. Because the cards come from your course, they match the wording and emphasis your instructor uses.

Spaced repetition handles the long haul. Cards you struggle with return more often, and the ones you know fade into longer intervals. On Plus you can export the whole deck to Anki, PDF, DOCX or CSV.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for Security+?

Make one card per distinct term or concept rather than one per page, and keep each card to a single fact. Shorter, specific cards are easier to review and easier to get right.

How should I study Security+ flashcards?

Review a short session every day rather than cramming, and grade yourself honestly so the hard cards come back sooner. Once the basics feel familiar, switch to practice questions on the same topics.

Can I export Security+ flashcards to Anki?

Yes, on the Plus plan, which also includes PDF, DOCX and CSV export. The free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.

Is there a free plan to try it first?

Yes, the free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study, and no credit card is needed to start. Students get 40% off Plus with a school email.
