Cyber security. It is the most important security in information technology that focuses on protecting computers, networks, programs and data from unintended or unauthorized access, change or destruction. This paper performs the brief study of cyber security mechanism and techniques to apply security ...
An attack vector is a mechanism or method the bad actor uses to illegally access or inhibit a network, system, or facility. Attack vectors are grouped into three categories: electronic social engineering, physical social engineering, and technical vulnerabilities (e.g., computer misconfigurations)....
During man-in-the-middle attacks, hackers intercept communications between two devices. Why is cybersecurity important? Cybersecurity protects critical system infrastructure and sensitive data from attacks, theft, and damage by cybercriminals. As cybersecurity threats have become more sophisticated, damagin...
Data Security Data is sent in plain text. Data is encrypted before transmission. Authentication No built-in authentication mechanism Utilizes SSL/TLS certificates for authentication URL Scheme Begins with “http://” Begins with “https://” Security Risk Prone to eavesdropping and data interception ...
Recent high-profile breaches, such as those involving Medibank, Optus, Latitude Financial, and MediSecure, have underscored the need for a more robust mechanism to review and learn from significant cyber incidents, in order to better prepare for future attacks. ...
involve and help in standardization and regulation for the smart grid[18]. Some of the promising ongoing research in different domains of security for smart grids include: Privacy-preserving smart metering with multiple data consumers, Ortho code privacy mechanism in Smart Grid using ring ...
Vulnerability is a measure of the potential impact of a cyber-attack Vulnerability is a security mechanism used to protect computer systems Vulnerability is a weakness or flaw in a system that could be exploited by threatsAnswer: D) Vulnerability is a weakness or flaw in a system that could be...
Robust governance mechanism.In many countries, tension exists between the regulating entity and the enforcement entity. This is the reason why it is critical to the success of the National Critical Infrastructure Protection program that a robust governance mechanism be in place betw...
in-depth and defense-in-breadth are two common concepts in cyber security that have grown out of the least common mechanism principle. The concept of least common mechanism is to limit the impact of any security failure.Defense-in-depthdoes this by layering security controls such that if one...
implements countermeasures to prevent attacks. CSA also establishes a proactive security early-warning mechanism, enabling pre-emptive action against risks before incidents occur. This proactive approach enhances overall network security defenses by identifying, analyzing, and responding to threats in advance...
