In this episode, we dive into the essentials of cryptography, covering key topics such as selecting cryptographic solutions, the cryptographic life cycle, and Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). We also explore the darker side with a detailed look at cryptanalytic attacks like brute force, side-channel, and man-in-the-middle attacks. To wrap things up, we switch gears and apply security principles to site and facility design, focusing on physical security, perimeter defenses, and environmental controls. Join us as we break down these CISSP exam topics and apply them to real-world scenarios. Keep studying, keep pushing—we’re in this together!
