    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.
    • 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.
