Study Notes
Denial-of-Service (DoS) Attacks
- A DoS attack prevents legitimate users from accessing information systems, devices, or network resources due to malicious actions.
- A Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack involves multiple machines attacking a single target simultaneously.
- Common types of DoS attacks include rootkits and botnets.
Security Certifications and Training
- Security+ certification meets the requirements for IAM Level II and Level III.
- It is the responsibility of the Information Assurance Security Officer (IASO) to provide initial and annual Information Assurance (IA) awareness training to all users.
Privileged Access and Security Management
- IA Management requires a privileged access agreement to safeguard sensitive information.
- The DoD repository for security authorization packages and risk assessments is the Army Portfolio Management System (APMS).
Cloud Computing
- Three primary cloud computing service models are Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS).
- Interoperability is identified as a weakness in cloud computing systems.
Security Practices and Tools
- Encryption transforms messages into code to secure data transmission.
- A Virtual Private Network (VPN) allows secure employee connections to company networks remotely.
Incident Management
- Planning for security includes four objectives: identify, design, test, and monitor responses to threats.
- Incident Response Plans facilitate timely and controlled responses to security incidents, minimizing potential damage.
Wireless Security and Data Protection
- SSID stands for Service Set Identifier, used to identify Wi-Fi networks.
- Encrypting wireless data secures it from unauthorized access.
Malware and Computer Security
- Viruses, worms, and Trojan horses are all types of malicious code posing risks to systems.
- Rootkits are software that can be covertly installed, remaining hidden from users.
Education and Continuous Training
- Cybersecurity personnel are required to complete Cybersecurity Fundamental training annually as per DA PAM 25-2-6.
- Protections against fake antivirus software encompass multiple strategies and tool implementations.
Indications and Precursors
- A precursor indicates potential future incidents, serving as an early warning system.
- Indications confirm that an incident has occurred or is imminent, contrasting with precursors.
Comprehensive Understanding of Security
- Website security encompasses both technical and procedural safeguards to protect online platforms.
- Individual networks can suffer from DoS attacks without being the direct focus of the attack, highlighting the widespread nature of such threats.
