CompTIA Security Plus: Security Zones Guide
What are Security Zones?
Security zones are specific areas that are protected with certain security measures and controls in place to safeguard critical or sensitive information and assets. These zones provide a multi-layered defense strategy also known among professionals as 'defense in depth'.
The importance of Security Zones:
In a world rife with cyberthreats, security zones are critical to maintain the integrity, availability, and privacy of sensitive information. They restrict unauthorized access and help to minimize potential damage.
How do Security Zones work?
Security zones implement multi-layer security by dividing a network into segments. Each segment or 'zone' has its own policies and protections, and any information moving between zones is monitored and controlled.

Security Zones practice test
Security zones are distinct areas within a facility that have specific security requirements and controls. They help to compartmentalize the facility, ensuring that each zone has appropriate security measures in place. This can include restricted access, specific personnel with designated clearance levels, and additional monitoring or surveillance. Security zones allow for a layered approach, in which areas of higher sensitivity or importance have more stringent controls, ensuring that an organization's most valuable assets are well-protected. Additionally, security zones can assist in mitigating the risk of an incident, as potential threats may need to bypass multiple security layers before reaching their ultimate target.
