• Cyber attack flooding a computer or website with data, overloading the system to prevent proper functioning.

Malware

• Harmful software (spyware, viruses, ransomware, worms) accessing system data.

Identity Theft

• Criminal accessing a user's personal information for personal gain.

Cryptojacking

• Cybercriminals using a victim's computer resources to mine cryptocurrencies without their knowledge.

Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)

• Attack forcing an end user to execute unwanted actions on a web application while authenticated.

Disk Forensics

• Process of recovering data from physical storage devices, finding deleted files, and hidden partitions.

Network Forensics

• Investigating network traffic to find evidence of security incidents, unauthorized access, or malicious activity.

Database Forensics

• Collecting information contained in a database, including data and metadata.

Mobile Forensics

• Procedure of extracting, investigating and recovering data from mobile devices.

Malware Forensics

• Identifying, examining, and tracking malicious software.

Physical Security

• Measures protecting buildings and equipment from unauthorized access.
• Preventing unauthorized entry and ensuring authorized access.

Proactive Intrusion Detection

• First line of defense for a building, physical security crucial in preventing intrusions.

Scalable Physical Security Implementation

• Easy-to-install, quick-to-set-up solution for physical security, ensuring seamless transition to a new system.

Seamless System Integrations

• Physical security systems integrating with other software, applications, and systems through cloud operation.

Audit Trails and Analytics

• Easily detecting system weaknesses allowing implementing new physical security plans.

Operational Security

• Risk management process viewing operations from an adversary's perspective to protect sensitive information.

Information Privacy

• Right of individuals to control how their personal data is collected, stored, and shared.

Data Ownership

• Individuals own their personal data and control its usage.

Data Collection Practices

• Companies and organizations collecting data through various means (online forms, cookies, apps).

Consent

• Organizations obtaining clear, informed consent before collecting individual data.

Tracking Technologies

• Tools (cookies, mobile apps) tracking user activity.

Data Breaches

• Unauthorized access to sensitive data leading to identity theft or fraud.

Social Media Privacy

• Over-sharing and lack of privacy controls on social media exposing personal information.

Data Privacy Act of 2012 (RA 10173)

• Protecting individual privacy by regulating personal data processing.

Freedom of Expression

• Ability to express beliefs, thoughts, ideas, and emotions without government censorship.

Criminal Defamation Laws

• Frequently abused laws used in cases not involving public interest, used as a first, not last resort.
