Hi Gwen. I want to thank you for this, and all your videos on the CISSP. I passed my test today. Your insights, tips, tricks on techniques on how to approach questions and answers were invaluable. I found you to be correct, the vast majority of the questions could be answered from a management perspective ( a business & security management perspective). Thanks again!!

37:19 Indeed. Treat them with respect, support them, and make them loyal to your enterprise. If you want to be cynical about it, it’s safer and cheaper in the long run.

10:36 I wholeheartedly agree. But my definition of ‘wisely’ doesn’t fit with the common nonsense. What do you invest in? Expensive software, pentesting services, fancy physical security devices? How much less money would you have spent had you invested in people’s training and attitudes? That’s why I’m saying your paradigm is myopic.

Nice collection of tips! Also, Luke Ahmed has a book called How To Think Like a Manager which aspiring CISSPs might be interested in.

26:20 That’s where the risks assessments are flawed. Take Mitre Att&ck which is a superb endeavour. It cannot help you assess unknown risks and prepare properly (maybe against script kiddies attacks and other small hacker fish). All you can reliably assess is your defences. What do all successful attacks have in common? Or, better put, why are they successful? (*Hint* the first and most important layer of the answer is non- technical).

17:34 It is a genuinely good idea to make everyone (and I mean everyone) in an organisation more aware of risks, safety, and being money wise, BUT not at the detriment of other things. Money and technicalities of any safety system are contingent on threats, business landscape, how good you are at playing the money making game. Other things are not contingent on externalities. It’s like a human body- if its immunity is good, it can fend off all sorts of infections. Whereas your security paradigm is mostly reactive, for what I could gather, that’s why Zero Days happen. A virus in your system causes a devastating pandemic because your employees don’t know how to cyber wash their hands properly etc.

13:37 Get your priorities right! First and foremost the human wellbeing which includes the lives of people in a hospital, so if you’re a boss who makes money off the backs of ill people, at least you could pay due diligence and part with a part of your profit to ensure that you don’t put their lives in danger by allowing a ransomware attack. Those money greedy CEOs should face criminal prosecution and not be allowed to settle in court by paying their weekly coffee budget.

12:24 I don’t know much about it, but the MFA systems are not infallible. I was reading yesterday about Kerberos, and even I (not being particularly smart and definitely not knowledgeable) could see it’s vulnerable. What good is it to rely so much on an authentication server that checks credentials with a database that has had a SQL injection? The SSO that embodies the accessibility principle at the detriment of integrity and confidentiality (since when putting all your eggs in one basket is safe practice?). As I said, I don’t know all the terminology, but I hope you will understand the idea.

27:33 There are sectors that should not be left at their own devices, at the whim of irresponsible corporate managers. Take the energy sector, transport, water supply, healthcare, telecommunications- they should be recognised for what they are i.e. critical infrastructure. Imagine a big water supply company being hacked into. Or a biolab database being compromised (modifying data would be worse than stealing it for corporate espionage purposes).

24:42 Yeah, video streaming. I was thinking about that, actually, when I read yesterday about UDP which I understand is much less safe than TCP. In all fairness, ensuring integrity via using HTTPS and TCP is kinda obsolete in the age of deepfakes. Maybe Communication science should not be divorced from the Information Technology. PS- I am not referring to your video. I don’t know who you really are, but I think that you are a highly intelligent lady with loads of experience. My criticism pertains to this damned test.

14:15 What is the average amount paid for a ransomware attack? I don’t know, let’s say $500,000. Spending $499,999 on developing your immunity to attacks by training and checking your staff’s attitudes and safety- related behaviour, sacking a few bad apples, and continuously helping the individuals to attain maturity and good posture is still cheaper.

0:53 I do, but I don’t like it. Which makes me doubt I will ever work for such managers. Is this test an empathy test? It should test knowledge, attitudes, and cognitive resilience. But not like that- not telling the candidates what they’re tested for. It’s patronising, disrespectful, and dishonest- are these qualities that are part of a manager’s job description? Now I know what job descriptions I will weed out.

5:45 I want to help them, but they don’t want to be helped because their big egos get in the way. Very well, then, suit yourselves. And talking about being rude- isn’t it rude to test people in a covert manner? Isn’t permission based on transparency the thing that makes the difference between pentesting and hacking? Why is psychological hacking, then, allowed? What are the candidates- criminals interrogated by FBI?

4:02 No. If you care about people, you care about your colleagues, your clients, and about your dumbarse CEO who has no clue about anything but the bank accounts and ‘networking’ whilst playing golf with other muppets in high positions. If you do care about people, you will do the technical bits related to security. If you don’t, you won’t. Even worse, not cultivating this attitude leads to inside threats. It’s an idiotic and myopic management strategy.
