    Study Notes

    Cybersecurity Fundamentals

    • Cybersecurity is the practice of protecting systems, networks, and data from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, or destruction.

    Impact of Internet of Things (IoT) on Cybercrime and Cybersecurity

    • The IoT has increased the attack surface, making it easier for cybercriminals to compromise devices and perpetuate cybercrime.
    • The IoT has also raised new challenges for cybersecurity, such as managing and securing a vast number of connected devices.

    CIA Triad Principle

    • The principle of Availability ensures that systems and data are accessible by authorized users when and where needed.

    Digital Footprint

    • A digital footprint refers to the information about a person that exists on the Internet as a result of their online activity.
    • A person's digital footprint is composed of various types of information, including social media profiles, online searches, and browsing history.
    • One characteristic of a digital footprint is that it can be permanent, making it challenging to erase or remove.

    Right to be Forgotten

    • The right to be forgotten is the ability to request that online platforms and search engines remove personal information from public access.

    Digital Footprint Monitoring

    • Employers, landlords, and law enforcement agencies are likely to look at a person's digital footprint.

    Password Security

    • Complex passwords should contain a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters.

    Two-Factor Authentication

    • Two-factor authentication is a security process that requires a user to provide two forms of verification, such as a password and a fingerprint, to access a system or data.

    Data Visualization

    • Data visualization is the term that describes using charts, graphs, or images to display complex data.
    • Data visualization can be skewed to be misleading by using biased or incomplete data, or by manipulating the scale and presentation of the data.

    Data Use

    • The appropriate use of data is called data ethics.
    • Using quotation marks around a word or phrase in an internet search returns exact matches for the phrase, rather than individual results for each word.

    Data Presentation

    • Bar graphs are best suited for presenting categorical data, where the goal is to compare the frequency or distribution of different categories.

    Website Credibility

    • Characteristics of a website that can help determine its credibility include the domain name, author credentials, and the presence of citations or references.
