When a number of related malicious program-carrying devices are connected to the internet they are called a botnet. . These related devices are controlled by a common attacking party to perform malicious activities e.g. send spam.

SSL is defined as the method of secure socket layer for verifying the Identity of the center and nothing else. And SSL will help the person to ensure and track the person you are talking to but can also be tricked. TLS is a type of identification tool similar to SSL. But it ensures that there are improved security features and additional protection to the layer. These have to be used together.

Honeypots are computer systems that are used to lure attackers. It is used to deceive attackers and defend the real network from any attack. As seen below, the real network is safeguarded.

Q: Explain Data Leakage.

Data leakage is defined as the unintentional or planned leakage of data of an organization to external users, those who do not have permission to access or view such data. It typically is the disclosure of confidential information to unauthorized users. There are three ways in which such leakage can occur: Accidental Breach: A user has unintentionally sent the data to a person who is not permitted to view it and is thus a personal error or blunder. Intentional Breach: A user sends confidential data to an entity that is not permitted to view it, on purpose. System Hack: Different techniques are used such that data leakage is triggered. The major solution to contain data leakage is to use preventive tools software and certain techniques or strategies called the data leakage prevention tools.

Q: What is Cognitive Cybersecurity?

Cognitive cyber security is the application of artificial intelligence technologies for the human thought process to identify threats and protect physical and digital systems.

Q: Explain SSL Encryption

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is the standard followed in the security knowledge industry to develop encrypted connections between the browser as well as the web server. This standard ensures that data privacy is maintained and that online transactions are protected from external attacks. The following steps have to be followed to establish an SSL connection: The browser will connect to the web server which is secured by SSL. The browser will send a copy of the SSL certificate. The browser verifies if the SSL certificate is trustworthy. If trustworthy, the browser will send a message to the server requesting to establish an encrypted connection. The web server acknowledges and starts to build an SSL encrypted connection. The encrypted SSL communication begins between the browser and the web server.

Q: What is the difference between VA (Vulnerability Assessment) and PT (Penetration Testing)?

Vulnerability Assessment: This is the process deployed to find out the flaws in the target itself. This is because the organization has already determined the flaws or weaknesses and has to prioritize the issues for fixing. Penetration Testing: In this method, the attempt is to find the vulnerability of the target itself. The process is to establish if the security measures the organization has implemented are sufficient to protect it from being hacked and if the system and network are well protected.

Q: How is Encryption different from Hashing?

Encryption and Hashing convert data in readable format into an unreadable format. In the case of encryption, data CAN BE converted into its original form by decryption. However, in the case of hashing, data CAN NOT be returned to the original format.

Q: Explain the CIA triad.

A key set of guidelines used by most organizations for securing information is called the CIA Triad: Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability. Confidentiality: Accessible and readable only by authorized personnel. Integrity: Data is not manipulated by unauthorized personnel. Availability: Ensuring data is available to the user whenever it is required. It should also support hardware maintenance, regular upgrades, recovery, network bottleneck, and data backup.

Q: What are black box and white box testing?

In black box testing, the tester has zero knowledge of the IT infrastructure. Here, the testers will be unaware of the application, and they would have to gather information all by themselves. Based on the gathered information, testers will identify system vulnerabilities, if any. It is important as it emulates the attack of an external hacker. A white box attack emulates an insider who can be an employee in the organization trying to make unvalidated profits. In this form of testing, the tester has complete knowledge of the IT infrastructure.
