• What is the concept?
• Why does it matter?
• What is one concrete example?

Series ideas

Future video/note series could include:

• Beginner Briefs — short explanations of core ideas

• Case File — a simplified walkthrough of a real incident pattern
• Field Notes — lessons learned while studying cybersecurity
• Confidence Level — what we know, what we assume, and what is uncertain
