Q

What is passive cooling?

A

Passive cooling utilizes natural conduction, convection, and radiation to cool a component. The most common type uses a heat sink which is a block of heat-conductive metal such as aluminum affixed to a chip with some heat-conductive thermal paste. The heat sink has spikes or baffles that increase its surface area. Heat wicks away from the chip into the heat sink and dissipates into the air.

Q

What is active cooling?

A

Active cooling requires the use of energy specifically dedicated to cooling the component. In most PCs, a fan is strapped to the CPU’s heat sink in an attempt to circulate air through the heat sink and away from the CPU to keep it cool.

A

‘A foreign key defines the relationships between tables. The primary key in a table when in another table is called a foreign key.’

264
Q

What is DDL?

A

‘The Data Definition Language (DDL) modifies the structure of a database. Used mainly by developers and database administrators because it’s used to define the structure of the database itself. It sets the ground rules for the database to function.’

265
Q

What are the three types of commands you should know for DDL?

A

‘CREATE creates a new table. ALTER modifies a table. DROP deletes a table.’

266
Q

What is DML?

A

‘The Data Manipulation Language (DML) modifies the contents of a database. DML commands don’t change the database structure

267
Q

What are four command that you should know for DML?

A

‘SELECT retrieves data. INSERT adds data. UPDATE changes data. DELETE removes data.’

268
Q

Describe key-value pairs as a semi-structured approach to data storage.

A

‘They provide a very lightweight way to store data that throws away many of the rules of relational databases. Key value pairs don’t have to be organized into tables. The only requirement is that we have a key that can be used to index our data and then one or more values that we want to store in the database associated with that key. Each record can have different values and even different numbers of values. Key value stores are databases that are designed specifically to provide efficient storage and very fast retrieval of these key value pairs.’

269
Q

What are the three main concerns of cybersecurity?

280
Q

What are the five types of events that can disrupt availability?

A

‘Five types of events that can disrupt availability: denial of service attacks

281
Q

What is a DoS attack and how can it be protected against?

A

‘Denial of service or DoS Attacks occur when a malicious individual bombards the system with an overwhelming amount of traffic. The idea is to simply send so many requests to a server that the server is unable to answer any requests that come from legitimate users. We can protect our systems against these denial of service attacks by using firewalls that block illegitimate requests and by partnering with our internet service providers to block those attacks before they even reach our networks.’

282
Q

How can one protect against power outages?

A

‘We can protect against power outages by having redundant power sources and backup generators that supply power to our systems when commercial power isn’t available.’

283
Q

How can one protect against hardware failures?

A

‘Servers

284
Q

How can one protect against service outages?

A

‘We can protect against service outages by building systems that are resilient in the face of errors and hardware failures.’

285
Q

What does a host firewall do?

A

‘Host firewalls block unwanted inbound connections from elsewhere on the network. The firewalls do this by restricting the systems and ports that may communicate with our devices.’

286
Q

What are the basics of device security?

A

‘1) anti-virus software 2) host firewall 3) passwords 4) security updates 5) systems to enforce safe web-browsing’

287
Q

What is the first thing one should do when evaluating new software?

A

‘Validate that the software came from a legitimate source.’

288
Q

What does it mean to reduce the attack surface?

A

‘Reducing the amount of software in a system to the smallest possible amount’

Q

Why is it dangerous to obtain and install software from an unknown source?

A

‘If you download software from any source other than the original equipment manufacturer

A

‘Security policies are the bedrock documents that provide the foundation for an organization’s information security program. Compliance with policies is mandatory

294
Q

What are security standards?

A

‘Security standards prescribe the specific details of security controls that the organization must follow. Standards

295
Q

What are security guidelines?

A

‘Guidelines are where security professionals provide advice to the rest of the organization

296

Should organizations allow users to change their passwords quickly and easily?

A

‘Yes

301
Q

What are three authentication factors?

A

‘1) something you know 2) something you are and 3) something you have’

302
Q

Given that every authentication factor has known drawbacks, what solution would provide the most security?

A

Why is the least privilege principle important?

A

‘First

306
Q

What are the different approaches when designing access control systems?

A

‘1) Mandatory access control 2) Discretionary access control 3) Role-based access control’

307
Q

Describe mandatory access control systems.

A

‘The operating system itself restricts the permissions that may be granted to users and processors on system resources. Users themselves can’t modify any permissions. Mac is normally implemented as a rule based access control system

Describe discretionary access control systems.

A

‘Discretionary access control systems offer a flexible approach to authorization

309
Q

Describe role-based access control (RBAC) systems.

A

‘Service accounts are a special type of account used internally by a system to run a process or perform other actions.’
