Classification of Threats: Network Threats Flashcards
1
Q
What is a Network ?
A
A network, in essence, is a set of devices connected through by communication channels, and via these communication channels, information flows and data is exchanged between the devices.
So, if an attacker were able to gain access to these communication channels, they would effectively have access to the data flowing through that channel and the ability to steal it.
