Study Notes

Security Incident

A security event damaging network resources or data, part of an attack or security threat.

Exploit

Code, software, or method used by attackers to exploit vulnerabilities in applications, systems, or networks.
Known exploits are vulnerabilities already discovered, documented, and made public.
Unknown exploits (zero-day exploits) are vulnerabilities not yet known or disclosed.

Denial of Service (DoS) Attack

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.
