    Basic Cybersecurity Hygiene

    I echo ZT - zero trust. Don't trust emails. Scan, and don't click. Don't trust the auth systems. Use MFA. Audit regularly. Don't trust the devices. Update firmware, and install patches. Don't trust the connection. Use encryption. Use VPN. Use secure connections only. etc.

    Problem Based Question: Connect AP to Patch Panel?

    Another point that I suggest talking with your class is about the cables. The students need to be reminded of when to use a CAT5e vs CAT6 vs fiber vs coax. In the same discussion, include conversations about straight-through cable, cross connect, or rollover / console cables.
