• CCT 293: CISSP Rapid Review - Domain 8

  Send us a textQuantum threats aren’t waiting politely on the horizon, and neither should we. We kick off with Signal’s bold move to deploy post-quantum encryption, unpacking the “belt and suspenders” approach that blends classical cryptography with quantum-resistant algorithms. No jargon traps—just clear takeaways on why this matters for privacy, resilience, and the pressure it puts on other messaging platforms to evolve. We point you to smart reads from Ars Technica and Bruce Schneier that make the technical guts approachable and actionable.From there, we switch gears into a focused CISSP Domain 8 walkthrough: how to weave security into every phase of the software development lifecycle. We talk practical integration across waterfall, agile, and DevOps; show why change management, continuous monitoring, and application-aware incident response are non-negotiable; and explain how maturity models like CMMI and BSIMM help teams move from reactive to repeatable. We also break down the developer’s toolbox—secure language choices, vetted libraries with SCA, hardened runtimes, and IDE plugins that surface issues in real time—so teams can ship faster without trading away safety.Speed meets rigor in the CI/CD pipeline, where shift-left security comes alive with SAST, DAST, and SOAR-driven checks. We cover repository hygiene, secret scanning, and how to measure effectiveness with audit trails and risk analysis that map code issues to business impact. You’ll get a clear view of third-party risk across COTS and open source, the shared responsibility model for SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS, and the daily practices that keep APIs from leaking data: least privilege, strict authorization, input validation, and rate limiting. We close with software-defined security—policies as code—bringing consistency, versioning, and automation to your defenses.

• CCT 292: Analyze Test Output and Generate Reports (Domain 6.4)

  Send us a textOne DNS bug shouldn’t take your business offline—but it did for thousands. We open with the AWS East outage to show how a single point of failure in DNS can cascade through critical systems, then get tactical about building resilience that actually holds up under stress. From multi‑region architecture and failover planning to budget trade‑offs leaders often dodge, we make the case for redundancy you can defend to finance and prove with tests, not promises.From there, we translate CISSP Domain 6.4 into actionable steps. You’ll hear how to structure vulnerability reports that leaders read and teams use: crisp executive summaries, deep technical details, and remediation plans with owners and timelines. We contrast internal and external scans—what they find, where they break, and how to plan windows that won’t knock over production. Expect practical guidance on ranking findings by business impact, taming false positives, and using trend analysis to show improvement over time.Validation and exception handling take center stage as we walk through verifying exploitability, aligning CVSS with real risk, and documenting exceptions the right way. When patching isn’t possible, we outline compensating controls like segmentation, WAFs, logging, and virtual patching that reduce exposure without halting operations. We close with ethical disclosure best practices—coordinated timelines, bug bounty channels, and the legal safeguards that keep researchers and organizations on the same team.If you want resilient architectures, credible reporting, and a vulnerability program that leadership trusts, this conversation gives you the blueprint. Subscribe, share this with your team, and leave a quick review with your top takeaway—what’s the first resilience fix you’ll prioritize this quarter?Gain exclusive access to 360 FREE CISSP Practice Questions at FreeCISSPQuestions.com and have them delivered directly to your inbox!

• 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.
