Thanks for the guide, Ryan. It was very thorough, and easy to understand. And thank you for pointing out that threat actors are smart... someone working in sec once told me that most hackers are dumb... While some may be, the ones who executed any of the major zero-day attacks definitely are intelligent. These days, they're organized into an infrastructure as well. The orgs that sell PHAAS, RAAS, and so forth have a full-fledged scalable business.
I'm glad that you found it valuable, Melissa! Agreed, we can't underestimate the black hats that we're up again - especially in a day and age where RaaS and PHaaS exist (as you pointed out). While there are a fair share of "dumb" hackers out there, we still need to be weary of the top 1% that are extremely talented. If we're comfortable, we're doing something wrong!
