Being a supporting protocol in the Internet protocol suite, ICMP is often preferred by network devices to send error messages and similar information. Keep reading to learn more! In order to maintain the security and safety of networks, maintaining a successful communication between devices is essential. That is why protocols like ICMP are very important and popular as of today. In this article, we will discuss what ICMP is and why you need it. What is ICMP?
Stateful packet inspection is also known as the dynamic packet filtering and it aims to provide an additional layer of network security. Keep reading to learn more! In business environments, we use network technologies very often. They allow us to share resources and files, set communication protocols and such. As much as they streamline and accelerate our business processes, they can also pose a serious vulnerability for our cyber security.
Warcarting, war dialing, wartoothing, wardriving, wartransit… Also known as NetStumbling or WILDing, WarXing is a search of Wi-Fi networks. Keep reading to learn more! In our hyper connected world, an active and stable internet connection is akin to oxygen. Our smartphones, tablets, computers and even smart watches need internet connection to fulfil the entirety of their functions.
When you first hear ‘shellcode,’ you might think of shell scripting. Surprisingly enough, neither shellcode nor shellcode injection have anything to do with shell scripting. Keep reading to learn more!
Honeypot might remind you of Mata Hari style spies, shocking plot twists and intriguing schemes but in the cybersecurity context, it has a whole different meaning. Keep reading to learn what it is!
Gaining more popularity among hackers, man in the middle attacks aims to exploit the real time transfer of data. Keep reading to learn more! When attacking an organization, hackers are focused on being swift and stealthy. In order to successfully infiltrate, steal sensitive information or hurt an organization in various other ways, hackers must be able to go under the radar for a while.
Data stream clustering refers to the clustering of data that arrives continually such as financial transactions, multimedia data, or telephonic records. It is usually studied as a “Streaming Algorithm.” The purpose of Data Stream Clustering is to contract a good clustering stream using a small amount of time and memory.
According to McAfee, Adaptive Threat Protection (ATP) is an endpoint security’s optional module that analyzes organizational content and decides action based on file rules, reputation, and reputation thresholds. According to another source, the ATP is a security model that monitors threats, improves cybersecurity risks changes, and evolves to meet the need for security systems that are integrated with IT for continuous deployment, as well as in hybrid environments and the virtual cloud.
In the world of digital warfare, internet security has become a daunting task. Cybersecurity threats and attacks; even state-sponsored cyber-attacks are to the fore. Therefore, achieving effective cybersecurity without a few knowledgeable security practitioners and sophisticated toolset is out of the question. We should not depend so much on many security analysts in the age of automation and orchestration.
Buffers are regions of memory storage that temporarily store data while it’s being transferred from one location to another. A buffer overflow, also known as a buffer overrun, takes place when the volume of data is more than the storage capacity of the memory buffer. Resultantly, the program that tries to write the data to the buffer replaces the adjacent memory locations. If a user enters 10 bytes, that is 2 bytes more than the buffer capacity, the buffer overflow occurs.
In IT security debates, projects aimed at managing access and identifying users are considered fundamental. However, the processes and technologies for controlling permissions have proved challenging. To solve this dilemma, what is now called Identity Access Management (IAM) was created, which involves the definition and execution of identification processes related to the most critical businesses for a company.
