Studio - U3 LO1 - 1.1 Cyber Security Aims

What is the primary aim of cyber security?

• To create new computer viruses

• To protect digital data and systems from unauthorized access, cyber attacks, and data breaches.

• To share personal information online

• To increase the speed of internet connection

Explain the concept of confidentiality in cyber security.

• Sharing sensitive information with everyone

• Protection of sensitive information from unauthorized access or disclosure

• Encrypting sensitive information for public access

• Leaving sensitive information unprotected

What is the importance of integrity in cyber security?

• It slows down the performance of data and systems

• It ensures that data and systems are not tampered with or altered by unauthorized parties.

• It has no impact on cyber security

• It makes data and systems more vulnerable to attacks

Describe the role of availability in cyber security.

• Availability has no role in cyber security

• Availability ensures that data and resources are accessible to authorized users when needed, while also being protected against unauthorized access or attacks.

• Availability is only important for physical security, not cyber security

• Availability ensures that data and resources are only accessible to unauthorized users

Why is it important to have non-repudiation in cyber security?

• To allow for anonymous digital transactions

• To establish accountability and trust in digital transactions.

• To make digital transactions faster

• To increase the complexity of cybersecurity

Explain the concept of authentication in cyber security.

• Allowing access without verifying identity

• Denying access without verifying identity

• Verification of the identity of a user or system before granting access to resources.

• Verifying identity after granting access

What is the significance of authorization in cyber security?

• Only applies to physical security, not cyber security

• Has no impact on preventing unauthorized access

• Controls access to resources and prevents unauthorized access

• Allows unlimited access to all resources

Describe the aim of cyber security in protecting against malware.

• To create new types of malware for testing purposes

• To detect, prevent, and remove malicious software from computer systems and networks.

• To spread malware and infect computer systems

• To improve the performance of computer systems and networks

Why is it important for cyber security to aim at preventing unauthorized access?

• To allow unauthorized users to freely manipulate systems and data

• To make it easier for hackers to access sensitive information

• To increase the risk of data breaches

• To protect sensitive information and systems from being compromised or exploited by malicious actors.

Explain the aim of cyber security in ensuring data privacy.

• To make data easily accessible to everyone

• To intentionally expose sensitive information to the public

• To encourage unauthorized use and sharing of data

• To protect data from unauthorized access, use, and disclosure.
