CISSP Hustle and Flow Episode 3: Mastering Availability

In this episode of CISSP Hustle and Flow, we complete our journey through the CIA Triad by focusing on Availability. After covering Confidentiality and Integrity in previous episodes, we're wrapping things up by discussing how organizations ensure that their data and resources are accessible to authorized users whenever they need them. I’m not yet CISSP certified. The goal here is to study and share the process of learning through various sources I’ve gathered, including official study materials, online resources, and even good old Google. I'm learning alongside you, and I'm not claiming to be an expert—just someone on the journey to becoming CISSP qualified.

 

Key topics include:

 

Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Planning (DRP): Keeping essential functions running during disruptions.

Redundancy and Fault Tolerance: Ensuring systems can handle failures and continue operating.

Threats to Availability: From DoS attacks to natural disasters and human error.

Best Practices: Including load balancing, regular backups, patch management, and access control.

Tune in as we unpack these concepts and help you reinforce your CISSP prep. Stay tuned for our Study Corner, where we review key takeaways for your exam success!
