Three Things Every Hacker Wants

from Security+ After Hours

Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! The hospital screens are working. But can anyone trust what they say? At fictional Harborlight Medical Center, a displayed medication instruction raises a chilling question: is this a cyberattack, a legitimate service-account action, or something else entirely? In Episode 3 of Security+ After Hours, Alex and Jordan follow the evidence through a cinematic cybersecurity mystery, discovering why a system being available doesn't mean its information is accurate—and why a suspicious clue isn't proof of guilt. What you'll learn: The confidentiality, integrity, and availability (CIA) triad The differences between authentication, authorization, and accounting Why service-account activity alone doesn't identify a malicious person Zero Trust concepts, including policy decision and enforcement components Gap analysis, deception technologies, and evidence-based incident investigation Can you solve the case before Alex and Jordan? Stay through the end for nine original Security+ (SY0-701) practice questions and explanations that reinforce the investigation. Two friends. One cyber mystery. A smarter you by the end.
