Study Notes
CompTIA CySA+ Certification Exam Key Points
- Zero-day vulnerabilities can have significant impacts on confidentiality and integrity without affecting availability.
- CVE Metric Example:
- Most relevant for active exploitation:
- Attack vector: Network (AV:N)
- Attack complexity: Low (AC:L)
- Privileges: None required (PR:N)
- User interaction: None required (UI:N)
- Scope: Unchanged (S:U)
- Confidentiality and Integrity: High (C:H, I:H)
- Availability: Low (A:L)
- Most relevant for active exploitation:
Data Protection Tools
- Data Loss Prevention (DLP) is key in preventing exposure of Personally Identifiable Information (PII) by monitoring and blocking sensitive data.
Web Application Vulnerabilities
- Recommendations to mitigate vulnerabilities in web applications:
- Block requests without an X-Frame-Options header to prevent clickjacking attacks.
Vulnerability Scan Report Essentials
- Important items to include in a vulnerability scan report:
- Affected hosts: Identify IP addresses, hostnames, operating systems, and services.
- Risk score: Assess severity and potential impacts of vulnerabilities.
Organizational Security Measures
- Mean Time to Remediate (MTTR) is crucial for timely vulnerability fixes; an MTTR of 30 days is optimal for addressing vulnerabilities exploited 45 days post-patch release.
