The CIA Triad is a concept in information security. It guides an organization's data security operations. The 3 letters in CIA stand for confidentiality, integrity, and availability. They are the three pillars of a security architecture. In fact, applying these concepts to any security program is optimal.When working as a triad, the three notions are in conflict with one another. Extensive authentication, for example, helps preserve secrecy and lowers availability since certain persons who have the right to the data may not be able to access it.The three terms are explained below.ConfidentialityConfidentiality refers to the steps made by an organization ...

It's difficult to talk about internet security without mentioning a proxy server or a virtual private network (VPN). These two programs give you anonymity while you do your daily internet activity. Both technologies work in the same way to keep you anonymous on the Internet. Proxies and VPNs disguise your internet protocol (IP) from the web host and your target website by rerouting your internet traffic through their servers. The web host only sees the IP address of the proxy or VPN server as you browse the website, while yours remains concealed.Although proxy and VPN anonymity solutions have certain similarities, ...

IP FloodAn IP Flood is a type of malicious assault that can affect a single device or a whole network. This is a Denial of Service (DoS) attack that seeks to prevent a device from performing its usual functions, such as delivering requests or processing data. In an IP flood attack, the system is flooded with data, using all available bandwidth and denying access to genuine users.Fortunately, IP flooding is a well-known form of assault and it is well-documented and hence it can be readily avoided. IP Flooding is a sort of attack in which the victim or system is ... Read More
The resilience of an Information System is its capacity to function in adverse conditions or under stress, while preserving critical operational capabilities. In general, a system is resilient if it continues to fulfil its objective despite hardship (i.e. if it provides required capabilities despite excessive stress that can cause disruptions).Being resilient is vital because, no matter how well-engineered a system is, reality will conspire to disrupt it sooner or later. Residual software or hardware faults will ultimately cause the system to fail to execute a necessary function or to fail to achieve one or more of its quality standards (e.g., ... Read More

What is IP Spoofing?IP spoofing, also known as "IP address spoofing", is the process of sending Internet Protocol (IP) packets with a fake source IP address in order to mimic another computer system. Cybercriminals can use IP spoofing to carry out harmful acts without being detected. It's possible that someone will steal your data, infect your device with malware, or crash your server.IP spoofing is a hostile attack in which the threat actor conceals the real source of IP packets to make it harder to determine where they originated. To mimic a different computer system, hide the sender's identity, or ... Read More
