CCT 350: Investigation Types Made Simple - CISSP Training (Replay)

Send us Fan Mail

Default passwords are the kind of problem everyone “knows” about and yet they still open doors for attackers every day. We start with a quick reality check on router security and why factory settings, legacy gear, and unmanaged IoT and OT devices can turn a simple misconfiguration into redirect attacks, man-in-the-middle exposure, DDoS headaches, or silent monitoring. If you’re studying for the CISSP or defending a real network, you’ll walk away with a clearer sense of what to fix first and how to roll changes out without creating change-management chaos.

Then we shift into CISSP Domain 1.6: understanding requirements for investigation types. We break down administrative, criminal, civil, and regulatory investigations and why the burden of proof changes everything. We talk through why HR and legal need to be involved early, when law enforcement is (and is not) helpful, and how sloppy evidence handling can get key artifacts thrown out. We also cover e-discovery and legal holds, using the Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM) to make the process easier to remember and apply.

To close, we get practical about evidence: admissibility, chain of custody, and the forensics basics that protect data integrity, including media, memory, network, software, and embedded device analysis, plus the value of write blockers and disciplined documentation. If you want to pass the CISSP and operate like a calm, credible security professional during an incident, this is the mindset.
