Study Notes
Internet Privacy
- Internet privacy protects personal information online, including displayed, stored, and confidential data.
- Controlling personal information is key to internet privacy, preventing malicious use and identity theft.
- Third-party companies collect and analyze online activity to potentially exploit data.
Protecting Internet Privacy
- Web browsers like Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox are commonly used but don't automatically guarantee security.
- Researching browser security features and comparing interfaces of different browsers is recommended.
- A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is the best method for securing internet privacy, encrypting incoming and outgoing traffic, concealing online activities and personal info, and preventing snooping.
Double-checking Links
- Never trust links from suspicious sources like emails, websites, or advertisements.
- Always verify the URL format to prevent malicious links that mimic trusted brands (phishing).
- Double-checking links is an important way to avoid phishing attempts.
Social Media Privacy
- Social media platforms are publicly accessible.
- Limiting personal posts and avoiding revealing key information (e.g., favorite color or pet's name) reduces risk.
- Locking accounts or setting profiles to private can further protect information.
Multi-Factor Authentication
- Multi-factor authentication adds an extra security layer beyond passwords.
- It requires a specific code sent to a connected device (e.g., a smartphone) for account access.
- Using multi-factor authentication reduces the risk of online threats.
Network Security
- Network security protects a network's integrity, confidentiality, and accessibility.
- Cybercriminals exploit new users and enterprises using networks.
- Necessary Network Security Technologies Include Firewalls, IDS and VPNs.
Firewalls
- Firewalls monitor and filter incoming and outgoing network traffic.
- They act as a barrier between trusted internal networks and untrusted external networks.
- Firewalls operate based on pre-set rules.
Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS)
- IDS monitor networks for malicious activity and intrusions.
- Network IDS use signature-based detection to identify known malicious sequences or rely on machine learning to identify patterns.
- Host IDS monitor individual host network traffic.
Wi-Fi Protected Access 3 (WPA3)
- WPA3 is the latest Wi-Fi security protocol, filtering devices connecting to the network.
- It employs "forward secrecy" where even a compromised key doesn't affect prior sessions and encryptions.
Virtual Private Network (VPN)
- VPN connects remote devices to company servers.
- It hides user activity by routing traffic through a third-party server.
- VPN provides secure and private access to data on company servers.
Email Security
- Emails can be used to deliver malicious scripts and codes.
- It is crucial to have email spam filters to protect from attackers.
- Filtering based on deep learning can identify malicious sender domains.
Downtime Consequences
- Internet and network failures result in revenue loss due to interrupted operations and transactions.
- Maintenance costs increase due to repairs and upgrades.
- Network outages lower employee productivity, reducing business output.
- Damaged reputation occurs due to repeated malfunctions and reflecting badly on the organization's management.
- Legal repercussions could be involved when agreed-upon deadlines are missed and if operations fail to meet expected deliveries.
