There is a constant battle taking place on your network between the attackers and your defensive front. In this video, you’ll learn about honeypots, honeynets, fake telemetry, and DNS sinkholes. << Previous Video: Site Resiliency Next: Cloud Models >> A honeypot is a system, or series of systems, that’s designed to look very attractive to […]

Maintaining uptime and availability during a disaster is often the primary objective of the IT team. In this video, you’ll learn about hot sites, cold sites, and warm sites. << Previous Video: Managing Security Next: Honeypots and Deception >>     If you’ve gone through the process of creating a disaster recovery plan, then you

There are various security requirements that need to be considered when managing an organization’s data. In this video, you’ll learn about geographical considerations, SSL inspection, hashing, and API security considerations. << Previous Video: Data Loss Prevention Next: Site Resiliency >>     We often think of our technology being in the cloud, or being at

Data loss prevention can help protect sensitive data from unauthorized use. In this video, you’ll learn about DLP, USB blocking, cloud-based DLP, and DLP in email systems. << Previous Video: Protecting Data Next: Managing Security >>     We maintain and collect a lot of different types of data on our networks. We could keep

There are many different ways to protect our application data. In this video, you’ll learn about data sovereignty, data masking, encryption, tokenization, and more. << Previous Video: Configuration Management Next: Data Loss Prevention >> An organization’s data is one of the most important assets they have, so it’s up to you as an IT security

Documentation and configuration management can be a life saver when things go wrong. In this video, you’ll learn about network diagrams, baseline configurations, standard naming conventions, and more. << Previous Video: Security Teams Next: Protecting Data >>     One of the challenges with information technology is keeping up with all of the changes that

It’s common for organizations to separate IT security tasks into teams. In this video, you’ll learn about the red team, blue team, purple team, and white team. << Previous Video: Reconnaissance Next: Configuration Management >>     IT security is a broad field and there will be many different tasks, with many different goals and

Before performing a penetration test, it’s often useful to gather information about the intended target. In this video, you’ll learn about reconnaissance methods used for passive footprinting and active footprinting. << Previous Video: Penetration Testing Next: Security Teams >> Before you perform a penetration test, it’s always good to gather information about the systems that

The process of exploiting a vulnerability in a controlled environment is a penetration test. In this video, you’ll learn about pentesting, rules of engagement, exploiting vulnerabilities, and more. << Previous Video: Security Information and Event Management Next: Reconnaissance >>     If you’re performing a penetration test, then you are actively trying to gain access

If you are monitoring the security of your network, then you are almost certainly using a SIEM. In this video, you’ll learn about SEIMs, using syslog, and the fundamentals of SOAR. << Previous Video: Vulnerability Scans Next: Penetration Testing >> To be able to manage the massive amount of information you receive from log files
