What are the performance-based questions on the Security+ exam?

Performance-based questions, or PBQs, require you to perform a task in a simulated environment rather than choosing from multiple-choice options. Common PBQ types include configuring firewall rules to allow or block specific traffic, matching attack types to descriptions or scenarios, analyzing log files to identify security events, configuring wireless security settings, setting up access controls or permissions, and identifying components in a network diagram. PBQs appear at the beginning of the exam and can be flagged and returned to later.
