    Cybersecurity Layers

    We disagree, and it does not change any relationship, but i tell you what my opion about this is., since you did ask for it. and if you google for "Defense in Depth" you find graphics that are better illustrated and more correct then this one.. So, this graphic is imho more or less useless.

    Cyber Security Tools

    then we can`t use it. anyway, as i said, it is not a good illustration anyway.. I personally believe, you share something were you have the rights and are willing to share it, post the Link to the source and we can see it by ourself and decide to violate maybe copyrights, or if you do not...

    SSH Encryption Methods

    Depending what u choose to use. It is not SSH that may make the mistake (if not in the code), its u, selecting what you wanna have. then use the right settings. If the outside attacker is already in your network to decrypt SSH, you have failed before and other Problems. then SSH would be the...

    Common Exam Pitfalls and How to Overcome Them

    I would not underwrite this. PBQ on the Beginning: Yes. i recommend skip them, go back later, when you finished the rest. nearly all my students are thankfull for that advice, when followed it. But the order of questions is random, and if a questions is consider hard (without knowing the...

    Jumping the line

    You may master the Training and Exam for CISSP, but they are requiring to prove the Work Experience before handing out the Certification. Huge difference to CompTIA. You have to start to learn it somewhere. But i would not recommend CISSP in that case (had one student that started with CEH in...

    Jumping the line

    That is pretty bad. didn`t know you can have that less points. Sure they can. CompTIA has no requirement to have passed N+ before Sec+. They recommend it, to have the knowledge. But they do not enforcing it. Why? You did not know better or did you make a explanation. Technically you where...

    Layer8 Problem. If the user opens Mails as part of social Engnieering. Teams is not the Problem (There are settings for the Admin to protect the company), the User is.

    Antivirus Software - Purpose

    Technically : No. Because that AV is an old term. EDR or better XDR Solutions praise, they protect against Ramsonware. Companies may call their Product still AV and offer Ransomware Protection, but that is marketing. But then again, if the Ransomare comes in as Virus or Worm, the AV my detect...

    Basic Cybersecurity Hygiene

    Some GPO? You have a domain at home? For a single computer there is only the local Securtiy Configuration, which is like 1 GPO for all Users or this Computer with different Settings applied. But only one GPO.

    Basic Cybersecurity Hygiene

    Conditional Access. But that has to be enforced by the Application Vendor. Nothing i can enforce for myself. Nor so easy in a Company Enviroment. Use a Password Management Solution.
