Test Yourself - Security

 Test Yourself – Security 

 

What is the difference between IDS AND IPS? 

An IDS system (intrusion detection system) is designed to expose any attempts by attackers to overcome security controls to compromise data or other resources. An IDS system will find the potential threat but won’t act upon it, whereas an IPS (intrusion prevention system) will locate the potential threat and eliminate it.  

 


What is the purpose of NIDS? 

The purpose of NIDS (network intrusion detection system) is to monitor traffic on a network by intercepting network packets, processing the data and identifying suspicious traffic. 

 


What is asymmetric encryption? 

Asymmetric encryption is when the encryption key is available to anyone to use and encrypt data but only the person who receives the data receives the decryption key.  

 

How do websites show they are encrypted? 

Websites show that they are encrypted by having a HTTPS on their domain.

Topologies

 Topologies What is a network topology? A network topology is the arrangement of the elements, such as links and nodes, of a communication network. Network topology can be used to define or describe the arrangement of various types of telecommunication networks, including command and control radio networks and computer networks.  Network topology examples Point to point topology -      This is arguably the most basic topology as it only consists of 2 nodes and a connection between them. So for example, if you were to configure a router in London, to connect and use resources on a network in Manchester, you would want to make sure that you had a link between them that supports your needs.  Star topology - A star topology is a centralised topology consisting of multiple nodes and a central hub/switch. It is also a design where all devices are connected to a central hub or switch, and messages are passed to the central core that, in turn, passes the

Emerging technologies allowing adaptability and future proofing

  Emerging technologies allowing adaptability and future proofing Machine Learning Machine Learning is a field of study in artificial intelligence concerned with the development and study of statistical algorithms that can learn from data and generalise to unseen data, and thus perform tasks without explicit instructions. Advances in the field of deep learning have allowed neural networks to surpass many previous approaches in performance.   Artificial Intelligence (AI) Artificial Intelligence is a set of technologies that enable computers to perform a variety of advanced functions, including the ability to see, understand and translate spoken and written language, analyse data, make recommendations and more.   Internet of things (IoT) The internet of things refers to a network of physical devices, appliances and other physical objects that are embedded with sensors, software and netw...
