Let's say your company's email server sends you a message informing you that someone has changed your password and that you need to take some sort of action to verify this. But as far as you know, you haven't altered the password. What could have happened to prompt a change in the password? It's possible that an attacker gained access to the necessary information to reset the password. If so, what kind of virus was responsible, and whose computers were infected?
Which of our aims would have the best shot of success if we were given authentication backing? We'll go out the pros and cons of some different authentication strategies below.
It was stated that there was a false positive as well as a false negative. Authentication methods that are based on a person's biometric traits may be distinguished. Why is the use of biometrics rather than passwords believed to be the more secure option? - Why? When employing a biometric method of authentication, is it still feasible to conduct fraud? Give it to me straight in your own words and I'll try to understand.
There's a fine line between white-hat and gray-hat hackers and between gray-hats and black-hats. For instance, some experts consider gray-hat hackers an essential part of securing the Internet because they often expose vulnerabilities before they're discovered by the security community. Research the "definitions" of each of these types of hackers and answer the following questions. 1. What is hacking? 2. At what point does hacking become illegal? 3. Give a specific, real-world example of when good was done by any form of hacking? 4. Give a specific, real-world example of when harm was done by any form of hacking? 5. Provide three (3) ways to protect yourself and your computing devices from hackers. Number your answers.
Where do you believe the responsibility for information security begins and ends in a company? In order to know when security policies and procedures become active and inactive, we must know how much control the organization has over those times. Perceived or actual, do you think any of these boundaries will be increased in size? If this is the case, tell us how and why you went about it. If this isn't the case, why is that?
Let's say the company's email server sends you a message telling you that your password has been changed and has to be confirmed. On the other hand, you haven't altered the current passphrase. Why did they change the password? How did the attacker get access to the computer, and what malware or applications may have given them the information they needed to alter the password?
I'm curious, when you say "objectives of authentication," do you have any particular definitions in mind for what you're referring to? Analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the many different kinds of identification and authenticity by comparing and contrasting them.
Let's say there's a piece of software that, through the internet, allows a surgeon to do surgery on a patient who is physically located in another city. When the curtain has fallen, why would anybody want to keep going? What kind of carnage do they want to cause? Can you guess which of your weaknesses they will focus on attacking? Is it possible for damage to occur even if there is no hostile aggressor when such vulnerabilities exist?
Where do you think the duty for information security in a firm starts and ends? We need to know how much control the organization has over when security policies and procedures become active and inactive in order to recognize when they do. Do you believe any of these borders, whether perceived or real, will be expanded? Tell us how and why you went about it if this is the case. Why isn't this the case if it is?
Is there any chance that authentication might help us reach our goals? Here, we'll take a look at the pros and cons of many authenticator methods and see how they stack up against one another.
Let's say you check your work email and see a message alerting you that your password has been changed and requiring you to perform some kind of action to verify the change. But as far as you know, you haven't altered the password. Is there any way to guess what transpired that led to the password being altered? In what ways might an attacker have gained access to the necessary information to change the password, and on which machines did the infection first take hold?
What are the specific goals that we want to accomplish with this authentication procedure? Give an explanation of both the positives and negatives associated with each authentication technique that you've investigated.
