1. Introduction and Learning Objectives (5 Minutes)

Welcome to Lesson 1: Advanced Concepts. As the threat landscape evolves, traditional perimeter defenses and signature-based detection are becoming insufficient. This lesson delves into the sophisticated theoretical frameworks and mechanisms that underpin modern cybersecurity defense and offense. We will move beyond basic concepts to explore the models and techniques employed by advanced persistent threats (APTs) and the cutting-edge defenses designed to counter them.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this lesson, students will be able to:

1. Analyze the structure and utility of the MITRE ATT&CK framework for threat modeling and defensive p
