Use Mnemonics for Key Concepts

Remembering Information with Ease

Mnemonics are memory aids that help you recall important details quickly. For Security A+, you can use mnemonics to remember lists or steps, like the CIA triad (Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability).

How Mnemonics Help

  • Make information stick in your mind
  • Turn complicated ideas into fun, memorable phrases

Examples of Mnemonics

  • "Cats In Attics" for Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability
  • "People Do Eat Really Rotten Lettuce" for the steps of Incident Response: Preparation, Detection, Eradication, Recovery, Lessons

Examples

  • Remembering the firewall types as 'P.S.A.' for Packet, Stateful, Application firewalls.

  • Using rhymes or silly stories to help recall security principles.
