200-301 - Security Fundamentals - Section 5.1

Define key security concepts (threats, vulnerabilities, exploits, and mitigation techniques), describe security program elements, and describe IPsec remote access and site-to-site VPNs.

Distinguish a vulnerability (a weakness), a threat (something that could exploit it), an exploit (the actual mechanism), and the mitigation that reduces risk, and place user awareness, training, and physical access control as program elements. Describe how IPsec protects traffic across an untrusted network with confidentiality, integrity, and authentication, and contrast remote-access VPNs for individual users with site-to-site VPNs that join two networks.
