Скачать или смотреть Threat Actors & Attack Vectors Explained: APTs, Insiders & More | CompTIA Security+ SY0-701

You lock the doors and close the windows... but who exactly are you protecting your network against? 🐷🐺🏢

In this episode of CompTIA Security+, Professor Piggy breaks down the different types of Threat Actors—from unskilled "Script Kiddies" to highly funded Nation-State Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs). If you don't understand who the Wolf is, you cannot outsmart him!

We also explore exactly how these attackers break in (Threat Vectors), why they do it (Motivations), and how unauthorized tools (Shadow IT) accidentally leave the back gate wide open for the Wolf.

🔑 KEY TOPICS:
Threat Actors: Who is attacking your network?
Nation-States & APTs: Highly funded, patient, and focused on espionage.
Organized Crime: Financial motivation (Ransomware, Fraud).
Unskilled Attackers (Script Kiddies): Low expertise, using pre-made tools.
Hacktivists: Attacking for a political or social cause.
Insider Threats: The danger of authorized access (Malicious vs. Accidental).
Threat Vectors: How attackers get in (Phishing, USBs, Supply Chain).
Attack Surface: All the possible entry points into your organization.
Shadow IT: The risk of unapproved, unmanaged tools.

⚠️ EXAM ALERTS:
**Advanced Persistent Threat (APT)**: Always associate this with Nation-States. They want long-term, undetected access, not a quick smash-and-grab.
**Hacktivists**: Their primary motivation is ideological/philosophical, NOT financial gain.
**Shadow IT**: Increases your Attack Surface because administrators cannot secure or patch what they do not know exists.
