01FortiSOAR-style cases, playbooks, connectors and controlled automation
A SOAR platform coordinates security information, case work and automated or assisted response. An incoming alert is evidence to evaluate, not proof that every associated address is malicious.
467 words, about 2 min02Identity, access and cryptographic protection
This domain tests the identity lifecycle and the mechanisms that turn an identity into an authorised action. Expect questions that separate authentication from authorisation and that ask which access control model fits a scenario.
857 words, about 4 min03Security operations, monitoring and response
This domain is about running security as a repeatable service rather than a series of heroic acts. Questions target process ownership, change control and the operational metrics that show the programme is working.
803 words, about 4 min04Host and middleware hardening foundations
This domain tests the hardening baseline of the hosts that hold the data, plus the operational discipline that keeps them hardened. Expect questions on permissions, services, patching and endpoint detection.
526 words, about 3 min05Security foundations, governance and Chinese context
This domain covers the vocabulary and models that every later domain assumes: what security protects, how it is decomposed, and the formal rules that describe access control. NISP Level 1 questions here are usually definitional, so precision matters more than depth.
917 words, about 5 min06Cyber-risk identification and analysis
IT risk assessment has three phases. Identification builds the inventory: assets, processes, data flows, threats, vulnerabilities, and existing controls, often through risk scenarios ("who or what could exploit which vulnerability, and with what consequence?").
747 words, about 4 min07Continuity, backup and technical recovery
This domain tests continuity planning: how an organisation keeps critical services running during disruption and how it recovers afterwards. Distinguish the continuity plan from the disaster recovery plan and know the time-based metrics precisely.
