Episode 83 — Device Security: Firewalls, Patch Management, Anti-Malware

This episode covers device security measures that are essential knowledge for the CompTIA IT Fundamentals (ITF+) certification exam. You’ll learn how firewalls filter network traffic to block unauthorized access, how patch management ensures systems stay updated against vulnerabilities, and how anti-malware tools detect and remove malicious software.

We’ll discuss best practices for configuring each of these defenses and how they work together in a layered security approach. Mastering these concepts prepares you to identify and implement appropriate security solutions on both the exam and in real-world IT environments. Produced by BareMetalCyber.com.
