This includes hosts file poisoning, even though the hosts file is not properly part of the Domain Name System. Hosts file poisoning is discussed in the malware section since it involves changing a file on the user’s computer [14]. j) Content-Injection Phishing Describes the situation where hackers replace part of the content of a legitimate site with false content designed to mislead or misdirect the user into giving up their confidential information to the hacker. For example, hackers may insert malicious code to log user's credentials or an overlay which can secretly collect information and deliver it to the hacker's phishing server. k) Man-in-the-Middle Phishing This is harder to detect than many other forms of phishing.
For individuals and organisations these malicious programs can collect authentication data such as account details and passwords which can be later used for cybercrime or hacking. • Spyware: software that covertly transmits data about the activities a user is performing on their system. Spyware can also be used to install additional software, redirect browser searches, change computer settings or disrupt network connections. Typically, spyware is installed during the installation of a piece of free software. • Phishing: is the act of sending emails purportedly from a reputable company in order to trick a user into revealing personal information such as passwords and account details which will be later used for cybercrime.
I can assume that my organization MIS department will do it for me because they would identify issues and problems and promote to employees how to protect their assets that might be vulnerable to theft in the outside world. It’s important to protecting our assets that might be on portable devices to prevent the theft, use two factor authentications, and encrypt your data. Protecting your privacy by using strong passwords, adjusting the privacy settings on your computer, and surf the web anonymously. Other ways to protecting your privacy may include e-mail anonymously by reporting spam to your email provider and knowing what information on your emal is creditable, and by erasing your Google search history to prevent important history from being discovered. | 2.
Availability is the facet of IA where information must be available for use by those that are allowed to access it. Protecting the availability can involve protecting against malicious code, hackers and any other threat that could impede access to the information system. Authentication involves ensuring that users are who they say they are. Methods used for authentication are user names, passwords, biometrics, tokens and other devices. Authentication is also used in other ways -- not just for identifying users, but also for identifying devices and data messages.
LHT2 CyberLaw Regs & Compliance Task 4 | RISK ANALYSIS AND CYBERCRIME PREVENTION | [Document subtitle] | | 1. Below is a definition of terms as they relate to the following risk analysis: A. Threat * “Any circumstance or event with the potential to adversely impact organizational operations and assets...” (Ross, 2012). In other words, anything that can exploit a vulnerability thereby causing damage to an asset belonging to Military Contractors Inc. Some examples of a threat could be an attacker looking to get into the network to steal classified data, or a protester group looking to make a cause statement.
Case Study For any business ping sweeps and port scans could be a huge security threat if they continue unnoticed. Ping sweeps are performed to find end points on a network. Then a port scan is performed to find an open door into that particular end point or end points. After that anyone can find all kinds of utilities on the internet to exploit these open doors on systems and gain access to important and confidential files on the network. It’s imperative that we not only protect against these types of activities on the network, but that we also conduct them ourselves.
These personnel may not be loyal to the company they protect but the company they work for (Ortmeier, 2009). All security organizations should have a goal to achieve a land mark by which success and failure are measured. This will assist in the development or refinement of protocols. By having a well-trained and professional security force an organization can focus on the task of their primary mission and have confidence that whatever they are having protected is indeed protected. Knowing how the law works and what is legal or illegal in a current theatre of operations is key for a security organization.
Methods First, I will approach the several ways of how technology can be used to invade privacy. How do hackers take information from technological devices to use for their benefits? What devices are easier to steal information or spy on people? I
Layering can be thought of as a medieval castle, or in modern terms, defense in depth. The idea behind it is to make our Keep (data, network infrastructure) safe from the barbarians (hackers, corporate spies). The idea behind layering is to make it hard and un-profitable for the bad guy to breach our network. It’s accomplished by using hardware devices like Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) and Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS). Software devices used are; firewalls, Host intrusion Prevention Systems (HIPS), and Antivirus/Malware scanners.
ABSTRACT:In today's growing word cyber security is very necessary because,As technology provides many facility to us it also some effects like security threats and cyber attacks.To protect the data from hanker and the cyber attacks we will require the cyber security. Cyber security is a process to save the networks, computer programs and data from the illegal access or users that aim to access users data for personal uses and benefits.For protection of data many organizations develop a softwares. These software help to protect the data and information. Cyber security playing a big role in developing a technology and other services like internet.we only thing about the ‘cyber security’ whenever we listen about the cyber crimes.This paper describe the cyber security ,cyber
