Cyber Security Threats
Gbogbo ọrọ náà
The most effective way into a secure system has never been to defeat its encryption. It is to telephone somebody who works there, sound convincing, and ask. That is not a joke about human weakness; it is a description of how a large proportion of real breaches happen, and it is why the specification begins its list of threats with social engineering rather than with anything technical.
This lesson covers the six threats the specification names, then goes into detail on the two it expands: the four forms of social engineering, blagging, phishing, pharming and shouldering, and the four forms of malware, virus, trojan, spyware and adware. You will learn what each one actually is, how they differ from the ones they are confused with, and how organisations find their own weaknesses before somebody else does, through penetration testing.
