Study Notes
Identifying Vulnerabilities
- Key components of identifying vulnerabilities include:
- Network mapping to identify open ports and services
- Network sniffing to capture and analyze network traffic
- Vulnerability scanning to identify potential weaknesses
- Penetration testing to simulate real-world attacks
Threat to E-Banking System
- Example of a threat to an e-banking system: Phishing attack, where an attacker sends a fraudulent email or message to trick users into revealing sensitive information, such as login credentials or credit card numbers
Consequences of Exploiting Vulnerabilities
- Potential consequences of exploiting vulnerabilities in an e-banking system include:
- Unauthorized access to user accounts and sensitive information
- Financial loss due to theft or fraudulent transactions
- Damage to the organization's reputation and loss of customer trust
- Compliance and regulatory issues, potentially leading to legal action
