- Module 2, maps to the second CompTIA SYO-701 domain,
threats, vulnerabilities, and mitigation,
that this domain is all about the dangers we face,
and what we can do to minimize the likelihood
and impact of exploitation.
So we'll begin with the discussion
of threat actors and motivations,
and then we'll look at common threat vectors
and attack scenarios,
as well as various types of vulnerabilities.
We'll apply that knowledge
by analyzing indicators of malicious activity
and exploring various mitigation techniques.
Now, there are five lessons
and 16 sub-lessons in this module,
which align with the CompTIA SYO-701 exam outline.
Now at the end of every sub-lesson,
there's a three-second challenge,
a security in action case study, and a word cloud.
And at the completion of each lesson,
together, we'll work through a Deep Dive Quiz.
And at the end of the module,
you'll find five closer-look labs,
covering phone and text spoofing, malware analysis,
constructing error messages, threat intelligence workflow,
and zero-day vulnerabilities.
Now the exam weighting for this domain is 22%.
Module 2 is key to how we do our jobs,
as security practitioners,
it is our responsibility to defend and protect,
and we can only do that
if we understand what we're up against.
So let's keep going.
