🔹 CYBERSECURITY – INTERVIEW REVISION SHEET
1️⃣ What is Cybersecurity?
> “Cybersecurity involves the practice of protecting systems, networks, and programs from digital attacks, which typically aim to access, change, or destroy sensitive information.”
2️⃣ Key Concepts in Cybersecurity
• Confidentiality: Ensuring that sensitive information is accessed only by authorized individuals.
• Integrity: Maintaining the accuracy and completeness of data.
• Availability: Ensuring that information and resources are accessible when needed.
3️⃣ Types of Cyber Threats
• Malware: Malicious software designed to harm or exploit any programmable device or network (e.g., viruses, worms, ransomware).
• Phishing: Fraudulent attempts to obtain sensitive information by disguising as a trustworthy entity.
• Denial of Service (DoS): Attacks aimed at making a service unavailable by overwhelming it with traffic.
4️⃣ Common Cybersecurity Attacks
• Man-in-the-Middle (MitM): Interception of communication between two parties.
• SQL Injection: Inserting malicious SQL queries via input fields to manipulate databases.
• Cross-Site Scripting (XSS): Injecting malicious scripts into trusted websites.
5️⃣ Security Measures
• Firewalls: Network security devices that monitor and control incoming and outgoing network traffic.
• Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS): Tools that monitor networks for malicious activity or policy violations.
• Encryption: The process of converting information into a code to prevent unauthorized access.
6️⃣ Security Frameworks and Standards
• NIST Cybersecurity Framework: A policy framework of computer security guidance for how private sector organizations can assess and improve their ability to prevent, detect, and respond to cyber attacks.
• ISO/IEC 27001: An international standard for managing information security.
7️⃣ Risk Management in Cybersecurity
• Risk Assessment: Identifying and analyzing potential risks to the organization.
• Mitigation Strategies: Implementing meas
