CCT 376: Investigation Types and the Device Behind the Television (Domain 1)
CISSP Cyber Training Podcast - CISSP Training ProgramShow Notes
Send us Fan Mail A company found a concealed recording device in the room where its executives meet. They pulled it, imaged it, reviewed the camera footage, went through the employee's internal tool usage, found a second device in a bag he had left in another room, terminated him and referred the matter to the FBI. Every one of those steps was reasonable. And somewhere in the middle of that list, the investigation stopped being theirs. This episode is CISSP Domain 1.6 — requirements for inves...

Send us Fan Mail A “boring” GitHub Actions workflow file should never be able to empty your secrets vault, yet that is exactly what the Ghost Action campaign shows. We walk through GitGuardian’s research and the real mechanics of how attackers use stolen but valid developer tokens to add or modify workflow YAML, scrape secret names from your own repo, and exfiltrate CI/CD secrets to an external endpoint. The scary part is not exotic malware, it is normal automation doing what it was designed ...

All on the same cloud provider, all locked out at once. Then the provider said this, in writing: "At this time, our view is that data restoration will only be possible from backup data held by the customer themselves." Read that again.

I use a recent Hacker News story about an automated agent bypassing an Australian government health portal to dig into what CISSP Domain 6.2 is really testing: not your ability to recite a list of techniques, but your ability to manage authorization, scope, and rules of engagement so a “test” does not turn into an intrusion. We break down why the portal controls...
Send us Fan Mail A stolen password is annoying. A stolen session token can be invisible, valid, and instantly profitable. Today we dig into a real warning sign from Okta threat intelligence: infostealer malware lifted live session tokens from browsers, and thousands of Google sessions were still working weeks later. No MFA prompt. No brute force. Just a legitimate session replayed by the wrong person, with real dollar damage through unauthorized usage and credits. We use that story to sharpe...
Send us Fan Mail One video hotline feels like a single, simple conversation until you trace the call path and realise there may be seven companies involved in making it work. That’s the spark for this training-focused breakdown of CISSP Domain 4.3 secure communication channels, using the viral AI “actress hotline” story to show how modern voice and video collaboration really behaves behind the curtain. We start with a practical analogy: you think you’re transacting with the waiter, but your ...
