Cybersecurity is a set of techniques to protect the secrecy, integrity, and availability of computer systems and data against threats. In today’s episode, we’re going to unpack these three goals and talk through some strategies we use like passwords, biometrics, and access privileges to keep our information as secure, but also as accessible as possible. From massive Denial of Service, or DDos attacks, to malware and brute force password cracking there are a lot of ways for hackers to gain access to your data, so we’ll also discuss some strategies like creating strong passwords, and using 2-factor authentication, to keep your information safe.

I learned the same things in a 8 hour online course. Truly a Crash Course
Is that a Spy Kids _and_ a Ben 10 reference in the thubnail!? Respect.
I appreciate these videos so much! I've learned enough to know that I want to learn more -- and I'm hoping to get Security+ certified next year!
Fun fact: At 55,000 views there's a 99.59% chance she guessed someone's pin. Assuming that people PINs are evenly and randomly distributed. 1 - (9999/10000)^55000
As a "cybersecurity"† professional, this is an excellent episode. Well written, well delivered. Just the right amount of detail for a "class," while not being so over-simplified to be actually wrong. (I see that too often, newspaper articles, TV news segments that oversimplify to the point that what they say is wrong, not just "simplified.") †I freaking *HATE* the word/prefix "cyber".
You're killing me with the "I'd take it ALL" ATM comment. I'm sitting here dying!
One thing I would like to see stressed is that two-factor authentication has to ask for two *different types* of authentication. Asking for a password _and_ a PIN is still only one-factor, because they are both things that you have remembered (or written down), so if someone has got hold of your password file they can enter one, two or twenty passwords correctly – asking for more than one doesn't stop them. This was something that online banking got very wrong for quite some time, although most banks seem to have got it sorted out now.
Carrie Anne keep it real. No access to ATMs or she'll take all of it xD
I wonder why nobody in these videos ever mentions the possibility to use words from different laguages. It increases the possible combinations even more! :D
This is a great video. Explains the topic enough so that non-technical people understand the threats and how to mitigate them. Great job!
Using this to prep myself for a Master's in Cybersecurity. This broke down everything way better than most of the material I have read.
That's amazing! I've got the same combination on my luggage!

Confidentiality - data that only authorised people can read Integrity - data that only authorised people can modify Availability - data which authorised people should have access to
It is a guilty pleasure every time Carrieanne says "doobalidoo".
Just love going back from time to time to watch some of this amazing course episodes!
