ZERO-DAY CYBERSECURITY: ISC2 CC DECOMPILED 🔓⚡
// A study guide for those who think in attack vectors, not bullet points
AUTHORS: 51n5337 + #OG
MISSION: Demolish certification barriers through tactical knowledge deployment
TARGET: ISC2 Certified in Cybersecurity (CC)
STATUS: ACTIVE_OPERATION
DOMAIN BRIEFINGS // QUICK TARGET ACQUISITION
D1: SECURITY PRINCIPLES 🏛️⚖️
The foundation that everything else breaks against.
Core Concepts: CIA Triad, Risk Management, Security Controls, Governance
#OG Translation: “How to think about what you’re protecting before someone exploits it”
Vulnerability: Jargon without context | Patch: Real-world failure scenarios
learning objectives:
- discuss the foundational concepts of cybersecurity principles.
- recognize foundaitonal security concepts of information assurance.
- define risk management terminology and summarize the process.
- relate risk management to personal or professional practices.
- classiy types of security controls.
- distinguish between policies, procedures, standards, regulations and laws.
- demonstrate the relationship among governance elements.
- analyze appropriate outcomes according to the canons of the ISC2 Code of Ethics when given examples.
- practice the terminology and review security principles.
key topics include:
- identity assurance
- privacy control mechanisms
- safeguarding data
- strategic risk management
D2: INCIDENT RESPONSE, BUSINESS CONTINUITY & DISASTER RECOVERY 🚨🌪️
When everything is on fire and the business must survive.
Core Concepts: IR Plans, BC/DR Strategies, Availability Management
#OG Translation: “Your plan for when the attackers are already inside”
Vulnerability: Theoretical plans that fail under pressure | Patch: War-game simulations
1. The Incident Response plan responds to unexpected changes in operating conditions to keep the business operating.
2. The Business Continuity plan enables the business to continue operating throughout the crisis.
3. If both the Incident Response and Business Continuity plans fail, the Disaster Recovery plan is activated to help the business return to normal operations as quickly as possible.

- recall the terms and components of incident response.
- summarize the components of a business continuity plan.
- identify the components of disaster recovery.
- practice the terminology of and review incident response, business continuity and disaster recovery concepts.
key topics include
- recovery strategies
- continuity strategies
- incident management
D3: ACCESS CONTROL CONCEPTS 🔐👥
Who gets what and why they shouldn’t have it.
Core Concepts: Physical/Logical Controls, Authorization, Least Privilege
#OG Translation: “The art of saying ‘no’ to the wrong people”
Vulnerability: Overly permissive defaults | Patch: Zero-trust implementation
learning objectives
- select access controls that are appropriate in a given scenario.
- relate access control concepts and processes to given scenarios.
- compare various physical access controls.
- describe logical access controls.
- practice the terminology of access controls and review concepts of access controls.
---
