This episode introduces Domain 3 of the CompTIA Server+ exam, which focuses on securing server environments and preparing for disaster recovery. We outline the range of topics covered, including encryption, access controls, backup strategies, environmental protections, and incident response. The discussion emphasizes how these concepts work together to protect both data integrity and service availability, ensuring that servers remain resilient against threats and outages.

We also connect these topics to exam scenarios, where candidates must demonstrate an understanding of security policy enforcement, risk mitigation, and recovery planning. Real-world examples show how implementing layered security measures and comprehensive recovery plans reduces downtime and minimizes data loss after an incident. This overview provides the foundation for mastering the domain’s detailed subtopics in upcoming episodes.
