Cybersecurity Series

Security Concepts

This series is focused on the security concepts that show up again and again across modern IT — the ideas that make identity, authentication, access, and defensive thinking easier to understand before platform-specific implementation comes later.

Expect lessons on MFA, authentication, authorization, identity protection, Zero Trust, and the kinds of foundational security topics that make practical administration and cybersecurity feel less abstract.

Featured Episode
Understanding MFA
Open Episode

A beginner-friendly introduction to multi-factor authentication, including what it is, the main authentication factor types, common MFA methods, and why some forms of MFA are stronger than others.

MFA requires more than one form of verification before access is granted.
Authentication factors usually fall into three categories: something you know, something you have, and something you are.
Common MFA methods include authenticator app prompts, one-time codes, SMS, hardware keys, biometrics, and passkeys.
