What is a major characteristic of a Worm?
exploits vulnerabilities with theintent of propagating itself across a network
What are the types of exploit?
Exploits can be categorized into several types, including software exploits, which take advantage of vulnerabilities in applications or operating systems; hardware exploits, which target weaknesses in physical devices; and network exploits, which focus on vulnerabilities in communication protocols or networks. Other types include social engineering exploits, where attackers manipulate individuals to gain access, and web exploits, which target web applications through methods like SQL injection or cross-site scripting. Each type aims to bypass security measures to gain unauthorized access or control.
Network Tasking Orders NTOs are?
Used to combat critical network vulnerabilities
What is the difference between operating system security and network security?
operating system security concerns about vulnerabilities on specific operating system network system security concerns about vulnerabilities of the entire network regrdless how diverse or complex the network is.
A network administrator determines that falsified routing information is propagating through the network What action can be used to address this threat?
Configure routing protocol authentication.
What are the vulnerabilities in the network?
Every network is different; the only way to find out the vulnerabilities in a given network is to initiate an audit of the network. One piece of that is risk assessment, and from that you develop a vulnerability matrix.
Do not require user intervention to be launched they are self-propagating?
Self-propagating systems or malware can initiate and spread without user intervention, often exploiting vulnerabilities in software or networks. Once activated, they replicate themselves across devices or systems, enabling widespread distribution and potential harm. This autonomous behavior allows them to infect multiple targets rapidly, making them particularly dangerous in cybersecurity contexts. Examples include computer viruses and worms that can spread through email attachments or network connections.
What is an example of cyber kill chain?
An example of a cyber kill chain is the attack on Target in 2013. The attackers began with reconnaissance, identifying vulnerabilities in Target's network. They then delivered malware through a compromised third-party vendor, enabling them to gain access to the network. Finally, they exfiltrated credit card information from POS systems, leading to a significant data breach affecting millions of customers.
What server is a heavily secured server located between a company's secure internal network and it firewall?
The server you are referring to is known as a "DMZ" (Demilitarized Zone) server. It acts as a buffer zone between a company's internal secure network and the external internet, allowing for controlled access to services like web servers and email while protecting the internal network from potential threats. The DMZ is designed to limit exposure to vulnerabilities, ensuring that even if the DMZ is compromised, the internal network remains secure.
Is Network security is more often compromised from the inside than external sources?
True
A blank is a thorough examination of each aspect of the network to determine how it might be compromised?
security audit
What if your computer is compromised You should disconnect from the network, perform a system backup, reboot the system, and contact the ACERT?
False. Trackable information will be lost if you reboot.
