    Study Notes

    • Remote Working Risks: Increased cybersecurity risks as home offices often lack robust security compared to centralized offices, making them vulnerable to cybercriminals.
    • Internet of Things (IoT): Expansion of IoT devices, such as wearables and smart home devices, increases potential entry points for cyber attacks, creating a larger attack surface.
    • Ransomware: Cybercriminals encrypt data and demand ransom, posing a significant threat to sensitive information and economic stability for organizations.
    • Cloud Security Threats: Misconfigured cloud settings are a major cause of data breaches, with vulnerabilities making cloud services attractive targets for attackers.
    • Mobile Security Threats: Ongoing evolution of mobile threats, including spyware, Android vulnerabilities, and data theft, impacting both individuals and organizations.
    • Social Engineering Attacks: Rise in techniques like phishing, smishing (SMS phishing), vishing (voice phishing), and SIM jacking, exploiting remote work dynamics.
    • Artificial Intelligence (AI): Growing role of AI and machine learning in enhancing network security, automation, and threat detection, while presenting risks of exploitation by attackers.

    OSI Security Architecture

    • Developed as an international standard to guide computer and communication vendors in implementing security features in their products.
    • Provides a systematic approach to defining security requirements and emphasizes structured services and mechanisms.
