“Vulnerability” and “exploit” are two words that are common in the domain of cybersecurity. Both of these concepts are helpful to an individual in understanding how cyber threats move forward in every modern computer system and how they are used toward mitigation. Nevertheless, the former covers a different aspect of the security breach process. A…
The Detect (DE) is essential in the NIST Cybersecurity Framework since it serves as the framework that aids in detailing to an organization how to manage and mitigate cybersecurity risk. So, The core functionality of “Detect” emphasizes the development and implementation of the suitable activities required to recognize the occurrence of a cybersecurity event in…
Cross-site scripting is very common in web application security vulnerabilities. The reason for which XSS is implemented is that an attacker can inject bad code into the content that other users are going to view. Such scripts can be executed in the browser of any user who has visited the compromised site. This can, therefore,…
Imagine a small box meant to hold a certain number of balls. A buffer overflow is like trying to stuff too many balls into the box. This makes the box overflow and spills balls everywhere. In computer programs, buffers are temporary storage spaces for data. Buffer overflows happen when a program tries to put more…
In the fast-changing world of computers and the internet, knowing about online dangers ahead of time is super important for you. It’s like a lighthouse that helps ships to avoid hidden dangers in the sea. Cyber threat intelligence is just like that lighthouse but for the internet. It helps people and companies see and get…
let’s dive in. Think of zero-day exploits as party crashers at a cybersecurity party – no one sees them coming, but when they show up, things get wild. Imagine a secret passageway in a program that’s so hush-hush, that not even the folks who made the program know about it. That’s what we’re talking about…
Imagine a secret weakness in your company’s security, but instead of coming from outside hackers, it comes from people who already have access, like employees, contractors, or even past employees. These are “insider threats.” There are two main types of insider threats- Malicious insider threats: These insiders deliberately misuse their access to hurt the company….
Like a thief with the blueprints, an insider threat is someone inside the company who could cause trouble. These are people like employees, past employees, or even people who do work for the company but aren’t official staff. They could do serious damage because they know the company’s security system, data, and computers. This damage…
Imagine you’re sending a secret message to your friend, but an eavesdropper sneaks in the middle, pretending to be your friend! This is a Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attack. Hackers can do this online, listening in on your conversations and even changing what you send or receive. This can be very dangerous because they might steal your…
When talking about protecting your computer from attackers, two things come up a lot: vulnerability scanning and penetration testing. They both help you to find weaknesses in your defenses, but they work in different ways. Vulnerability scanning is like a checkup at the doctor. It uses a tool to automatically look for common problems in your…
