• CCT 291: CISSP Rapid Review Exam Prep (Domain 7) - Part #2

  Send us a textYou can harden your network and still miss the front door: aging edge devices with elevated access, thin logging, and long‑ignored firmware. We dig into the uncomfortable truth behind “set it and forget it” firewalls, VPNs, and gateways, then lay out a practical Domain 7 playbook that helps you detect faster, respond cleaner, and recover without chaos.We start with the incident management sequence that actually works under pressure—detection, response, mitigation, reporting, recovery, remediation, and lessons learned—showing how legal timelines, stakeholder updates, and RTO/RPO planning fit together. From there, we map the controls that pull their weight: next‑gen firewalls and WAFs, IDS/IPS, smart whitelisting and blacklisting, sandboxing that anticipates time‑bomb malware, and when to lean on EDR, MDR, and UEBA to cut through alert fatigue.Then we get hands‑on with vulnerability and patch management, focusing on asset inventory, critical‑first prioritization, scanning automation, and staged deployments with real rollback plans. We connect the dots to change management so fixes don’t become outages. Resilience gets its due: backup integrity and rotation, hot/warm/cold recovery sites, multi‑region processing, HA pairs, QoS to preserve critical traffic, and fault‑tolerant design that keeps services running when parts fail.Finally, we round out security operations with disaster recovery drills—from tabletop to full cutover—plus business continuity planning that aligns cyber recovery with revenue‑critical processes. Physical security and personal safety close the loop: layered access, surveillance, environmental controls, and travel and duress protocols that protect your people as well as your data. If you’re preparing for the CISSP or sharpening a real program, you’ll leave with concrete steps to reduce risk now and a roadmap to mature over time.Enjoyed this deep dive?

• CCT 290: CISSP Rapid Review Exam Prep (Domain 7) - Part #1

  Send us a textHeadlines about a massive F5 Big-IP exposure aren’t noise—they’re a masterclass in why Security Operations must be disciplined, fast, and auditable. We open with what the F5 situation means for enterprise risk, patch urgency, and long-term persistence threats, then shift into a practical, exam-ready walkthrough of CISSP Domain 7. The goal: help you think like an operator and answer like a pro when pressure spikes.We map investigations from preparation to presentation, showing how evidence collection, handling, and chain of custody turn raw logs into defensible findings. You’ll hear how live versus dead forensics trade-offs play out, which artifacts matter across endpoints, networks, and mobile, and why standardized procedures keep teams synchronized. From there, we connect visibility to action: IDS and IPS for detection and control, SIEM for correlation and retention, and egress monitoring to catch data theft and command-and-control that slip past perimeter thinking. Threat intelligence and UEBA add context and behavior baselines so you find the meaningful anomalies without drowning in alerts.We also dig into the operational backbone that keeps environments stable: configuration management, security baselines, and automation to eliminate drift and reduce manual error. Then we anchor on foundational principles—least privilege, need-to-know, separation of duties, job rotation, and PAM—to limit blast radius when credentials or processes fail. Finally, we close with resource protection and media management: classification, encryption, verifiable backups, and secure disposal and transport, so your controls hold up under legal scrutiny and real-world adversaries.Whether you’re tightening controls after the F5 news or sharpening focus for the CISSP, this guide to Domain 7 gives you a clear, actionable path.

• CCT 289: Practice CISSP Questions - Role Based, Mandatory, Discretionary and ABAC (Domain 5)

  Send us a textQuantum isn’t a distant sci‑fi threat—it's shaping security decisions right now. We open with what NIST’s new post‑quantum FIPS 203/204/205 actually mean for your crypto roadmap, why “harvest now, decrypt later” raises the stakes for long‑lived data, and how the 2035 federal mandate will ripple through contractors, audits, and CMMC. Then we get practical, translating policy pressure into the access decisions you make every day and the concepts you’ll see on the CISSP exam.We break down mandatory access control (labels, clearance, strict need‑to‑know), discretionary access control (owner grants, permission creep), role‑based access control (job functions, least privilege at scale), attribute‑based access control (context, dynamic conditions), and rule‑based control (fine‑grained logic and exceptions). Along the way, we highlight the keywords that unlock tricky multiple‑choice items—“classification,” “owner,” “job role,” “attributes,” “rules”—so you can map questions to the correct model fast. More importantly, we explain how to combine models without creating chaos: use RBAC for baseline entitlements, layer ABAC for context and risk signals, lean on rule-based policies for surgical exceptions, and reserve MAC for highly classified domains where enforcement must be absolute.If attackers are stockpiling ciphertext for a quantum tomorrow, the answer is a two‑track plan: crypto agility to adopt quantum‑resistant algorithms and disciplined access governance to limit blast radius today. We share actionable cues for exam success, practical design tips for avoiding privilege escalation, and a reminder that good security is repeatable security—clear roles, auditable policies, and continuous review.Subscribe for weekly CISSP prep you can use on the job, share this with a teammate who’s wrangling access models, and leave a review to help others find the show.

We open with the realities of manufacturing risk—legacy OT, flat networks, and high stakes for uptime—then translate that urgency into a practical walkthrough of CISSP Domain 6: the assessments, testing, and metrics that actually prove security works. Along the way, we share a surprising leadership edge from a trial lawyer’s communication book that helps you argue less, align faster, and get executive buy‑in when the first vuln report lights up like a Christmas tree.We break down internal vs external audits and when each makes sense, plus a smart cadence for third‑party and supply chain reviews that acknowledges your perimeter now includes APIs and vendor tunnels. From vulnerability scans and scoped penetration tests to SIEM‑driven log reviews and synthetic transactions, we map out a toolkit that catches issues before users do. We go deeper on secure code reviews, unit/integration testing, and interface testing for APIs, because the quiet paths between services are often where real risk hides.Then we shift to the machinery of proof: breach and attack simulation for continuous validation, compliance checks to spot drift, and the metrics that matter—MTTD, MTTR, patch rates, vuln density, mean time to report. We lay out how to run account reviews, verify backups you can trust, and exercise DR/BC so recovery is muscle memory. Finally, we tackle remediation prioritization, exception handling with compensating controls, and ethical disclosure that minimizes harm while nudging vendors to act. If you’re preparing for the CISSP or elevating your program, you’ll leave with a clearer map and concrete next steps.If this helped, follow the show, share it with a teammate, and drop a review—what’s one control or metric you’re upgrading this quarter?Gain exclusive access to 360 FREE CISSP Practice Questions at FreeCISSPQuestions.com and have them delivered directly to your inbox!

• CCT 287: Practice CISSP Questions - Deep Dive (Domain 5)

  Send us a textLeadership churn is reshaping security from the top down. We open the door on why CISO tenures are shrinking to 18–26 months and what that says about pressure, culture, compensation, and board-level risk literacy. From startups that stretch leaders thin to enterprises that treat security as a cost center until the breach, we map the real incentives behind the “revolving door”—and share what actually extends tenure: clear mandates, aligned executives, and measurable outcomes.Then we flip to hands-on security with a crisp CISSP Domain 5 deep dive. You’ll hear real-world IAM scenarios and how to reason through them: federated identity where users authenticate but can’t access apps (hint: attribute-to-role mapping at the service provider), RBAC implementations that quietly violate least privilege, and when mandatory access control beats RBAC or ABAC for classified environments. We also dissect deprovisioning gaps that leave terminated users active in SaaS platforms and outline the operational fixes—source-of-truth integration, event-driven provisioning, and reconciliation from the SaaS side. To cap it off, we tackle a red-team classic: static admin creds in scripts. The modern answer isn’t longer passwords; it’s just-in-time privilege through PAM and secret vaulting so nothing sensitive sits on disk.If you’re a senior technologist eyeing the CISO seat—or a CISO seeking sustainability—you’ll get a blueprint for aligning authority, resources, and risk. And if you’re prepping for the CISSP exam, these identity and access patterns will sharpen your instincts for both test day and production.
