All the techniques shown here are based on theory, craft, situations, and team members and I have encountered. They are not, however, clones of organizations' environments that have been assessed. Instead, they point out some examples of common cybersecurity issues and breakdowns in the security strategy that can be taken advantage of. Additionally, these views are of my own and do not represent my current or former employers.
