Merging the ‘Cryptography & PKI’ and ‘Identity & Access management’ domains The Cryptography & PKI and Identity & Access management domains are the fourth and sixth domains of the Security+ SY0-501 exam. These two domains are merged into the ‘Architecture & Design’ and ‘Implementation’ domains of the new Security+ SY0-601 exam. The public key infrastructure (PKI), Wireless security settings, Identity & access management topics are merged in the ‘Implementation’ domain. Operations and incidence response domain In the present time, an IT professional must have the ability to respond to security-related incidents.

It covers procedures of incidence response, attack frameworks, and key aspects of digital forensic. The disintegration of the Technology and tools domain
