Authentication (Group B) Description

gane6567 — 2024-04-04 23:30:08 UTC

Authentication is exactly what it sounds like. Similar to a government agency or an airline asking for your ID in order to confirm that you are who you say you are, many websites and companies will do the same digitally. This form of identification utilizes questions, passwords or even fingerprints instead of a physical drivers license or a passport. Many websites, especially those with sensitive information such as an email or mobile banking, will request authentication through the processes stated above. When this process is taking place, the user is proving their ID to the server or client in order to be granted permission to access the server or website.

The key difference between the three main hacking types, known as white, gray, and black hats, is the ethical and legality of their work. White hats are known as the most ethical, or legal type of hacking. White hat hackers are hired by individuals or companies to run security audits or better their security systems. Gray hats hackers are somewhat in the middle where although their hacking might not be legal, due to the fact that they are able to hack into systems without permission, they don't have an ill intent, but instead may warn companies about their weakness or hack for their own entertainment. Lastly, there is black hat hacker, who only have an malice intent, as they intend to hack into personal and company systems and steal money using many of their techniques such as blackmail or bank account hacking

General Question 1

Information security is purely the security of your information. This ranges from many things and its easiest to think of it as an umbrella term. Understanding cyber security is easiest when placing it as a form of information security. Cyber security specifically deals with protecting information in cyberspace. Summarized, the security of your information is information security and cyber security is the digital form of that information.

General Question 2

wihi2970 — 2024-04-04 23:58:41 UTC

In the world of information security there are many new and upcoming trends and threats. Ransomware attacks, Zero-Day Vulnerabilities, and AI powered attacks are among them. Ransomware attacks are where hackers will target critical infrastructures such as hospitals. Zero-Day Vulnerabilities are when hackers attack bugs in software before developers have a change to patch the issue. AI powered attacks are cyberattacks aided by artificial intelligence. Organizations can prepare by staying as up to date as possible on the current trends.

General Question 3

wihi2970 — 2024-04-04 23:59:03 UTC

Transparent policies are the best option regarding balancing the need for information security with the need for employee access and productivity. The idea is that if a company has a clear and transparent policy for information security the employees will be able to mitigate information security threats easier.
