Test Stuff Flashcards
TPM (Trusted Platform Module)
A dedicated microprocessor used for securing computing hardware and providing cryptographic support.
HIDS (Host based Intrusion Detection System)
A system that detects, records, and alerts on malicious behavior, but cannot prevent it.
NFC (Near Field Communications)
Allows devices with an NFC chip to communicate over very small distances, but data is sent in clear text.
PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard)
Provides standards for securing credit, debit, and cash card transaction information.
TOTP (Time-based One-time Password)
Password that is generated from a shared key and the current time stamp.
SOAR (Security Ochestration, Automation and Response)
The best option for minimizing time required to eradicate infections.
NIDS (Network Intrusion Detection System)
Provides continuous network monitoring across on-premise and cloud infrastructure to detect malicious activity like policy violations, lateral movement or data exfiltration. Is passive.
MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures)
The measurement used to determine the amount of time that a repairable system was operational.
IoT (Internet of Things)
Vulns: Devices do not have the computing resources to implement advanced security.
Devices use hard-coded or well-known default passwords
ALE (Annualized Loss Expectancy)
The amount of damage expected from a risk each year. Calculated by multiplying the SLE and the ARO
SLE (Single Loss Expectancy)
The amount of financial damage expected each time a risk materializes.
ARO (Annualized Rate of Occurrence)
The number of times the risk is expected each year.
Broadcast Storm Prevention
Prevents broadcast packets from being amplified as they traverse a network. Enable STP on switches to make sure loops are detected and disabled.
CRL (Certificate Revocation List)
