Cybersecurity study

what is offensive security?

• is the process of breaking into computer systems, exploiting software bugs, and finding loopholes in applications to gain unauthorized access to them.

• is the process of protecting, storing, and reporting all data necessary to help prevent or prepare for a future attack that can happen.

• is the process of fighting a attack on your own with no help and not letting anyone know what you're plans are or when the attacks are happening.

• is the process of keeping and storing data that is found on the computer in files or flash drives to protect all data that could possibly be erased in event of a attacker.

what is defensive security?

• is the process of protecting an organization's network and computer systems by analyzing and securing any potential digital threats

• is the process of breaking into a computer and checking to see if there is any deleted files or data that may need to be restored or analyzed.

• is the process of working with a company and stealing their information

• is the process of calling an organization and letting them know that they have a potential threat situation that can become worse if not handled immediately.

what are the two main tasks of defensive security?

• Preventing intrusions from occurring

• preventing viruses from spreading to certain areas of the computer and reporting it without helping.

• detecting intrusions when they occur and responding properly

• noticing something suspicious but waiting until anything actually happens to say something.

what are some of the tasks that are related to defensive security?

• Documenting and managing assets

• Updating and patching systems

• Setting up logging and monitoring devices

• User cyber awareness

• Setting up preventative security devices

Consequently, digital forensics will focus on different areas such as:

• Network logs

• System memory

• File System

• System logs

• It support

The four major phases of the incident response process are:

• Detection and Analysis

• Preparation

• Containment, Eradication, and Recovery

• Post-Incident Activity

• Saving information for your own personal use

Malware stands for:

• malicious software

• Malicious hardware

• Suspicious emails

• malicious files

Software refers to:

• programs, documents, and files that you can save on a disk or send over the network

• Apps and data that can be saved and stored on your local device.

• Information sent from one place to another.

• Communicating online with friends, family, or associates

Malware includes many types, such as:

• Virus

• Keyboard and other hardware components of a computer or PC

• Trojan Horse

• Ransomware

• Flashdrive

What is a virus?

• A virus is a piece of code (part of a program) that attaches itself to a program. It is designed to spread from one computer to another; moreover, it works by altering, overwriting, and deleting files once it infects a computer. The result ranges from the computer becoming slow to unusable.

• A virus is email that is not typically flagged by spam in order to get you to click on it and give your information voluntarily.

• A virus is piece of data that is sent back and forth between multiple people in order to communication around the world without sending physical mail.

• A virus is an application that is made to be installed and sent to others computers to cause it to overheat and then eventually explode.
