Digital Security Risks
• A digital security risk is
any event or action that
could cause a loss of or
damage to a computer or
mobile device hardware,
software, data, information,
or processing capability
• Any illegal act involving the
use of a computer or related
devices generally is referred
to as a computer crime
• A cybercrime is an online
or Internet-based illegal act
Digital Security Risks
Perpetrators of cybercrime:
• A hacker, originally means a computer enthusiast, now has
a derogatory meaning and refers to someone who accesses a
computer or network illegally.
• A cracker accesses a computer or network illegally to destroy
data, steal information, or do other malicious action
• A script kiddie has the same intent as a cracker but does not
have the technical skills an knowledge.
• Often use prewritten hacking and cracking programs
Digital Security Risks
• Some corporate spies hired to break into a specific computer and
steal its proprietary data and information, or to help identify
security risks in their own organization.
• Unethical employees may break into their employers’ computers
for a variety of reasons.
• A cyberextortionist is someone who demands payment to stop an
attack on an organization’s technology infrastructure.
• A cyberterrorist is someone who uses the Internet or network
to destroy or damage computers for political reasons.
Internet and Network Attacks
• Information transmitted
over networks has a
higher degree of security
risk than information
kept on an organization’s
premises
• Malware, short for
malicious software,
consists of programs
that act without a user’s
knowledge and
deliberately alter the
operations of computers
and mobile devices
Internet and Network Attacks
Internet and Network Attacks
• A botnet is a group of compromised computers or mobile
devices connected to a network
• A compromised computer or device is known as a zombie
• A denial of service attack (DoS attack) disrupts computer
access to Internet services
• Distributed DoS (DDoS)
• A back door is a program or set of instructions in a program
that allow users to bypass security controls
• Spoofing is a technique intruders use to make their network
or Internet transmission appear legitimate
Internet and Network Attacks
Internet and Network Attacks
• A firewall is hardware and/or software that protects a
network’s resources from intrusion
Unauthorized access is
the use of a computer
or network without
permission
Unauthorized use is the
use of a computer or
its data for unapproved
or possibly illegal
activities
Unauthorized Access and Use
• Organizations take several measures to help
prevent unauthorized access and use
• Acceptable use policy
• Disable file and printer sharing
Unauthorized Access and Use
• Access controls define who can access a computer,
device, or network; when they can access it; and
what actions they can take while accessing it
• The computer, device, or network should maintain an
audit trail that records in a file both successful and
unsuccessful access attempts
• User name
• Password
• Passphrase
• PIN (Personal Identification Number)
• CAPTCHA (Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell
Computers and Humans Apart)
Unauthorized Access and Use
Unauthorized Access and Use
• A possessed object is any
item that you must carry to
gain access to a computer or
computer facility
• Badges, cards, and keys.
• Often are used in combination
with a PIN (personal
identification number) Two-
Step Verification
• A biometric device
authenticates a person’s
identity by translating a
personal characteristic into
a digital code that is
compared with a digital
code in a computer
Unauthorized Access and Use
Fingerprint reader
Face recognition
system
Hand geometry
system
Voice verification
system
Signature
verification system
Iris recognition
system
• With two-step verification, a computer or mobile device uses two
separate methods, one after the next, to verify the identity of a user.
Unauthorized Access and Use
• Digital forensics is the discovery, collection, and analysis of
evidence found on computers and networks
• Many areas use digital forensics
Unauthorized Access and Use
Law
enforcement
Criminal
prosecutors
Military
intelligenc
e
Insurance
agencies
Information
security
departments
Software Theft
• Many manufactures incorporate an activation
process into their programs to ensure the
software is not installed on more computers than
legally licensed
• During the product activation, which is
conducted either online or by phone, users
provide the software product’s identification
number to associate the software with the
computer or mobile device on which the software
is installed
Software Theft
• A single-user license agreement typically contains the following
conditions:
Information Theft
• Information theft occurs when someone steals personal
or confidential information
• Encryption is a process of converting data that is
readable by humans into encoded characters to prevent
unauthorized access
Information Theft
Information Theft
• A digital signature is an
encrypted code that a person,
website, or organization attaches
to an electronic messages to
verify the identity of the sender
• Often used to ensure that an
impostor is not participating in an
internet transaction
• A digital certificate is a notice
that guarantees a user or a
website is legitimate
• A website that uses encryption
techniques to secure its data is
known as a secure site
Hardware Theft, Vandalism, and Failure
• Hardware theft is the act of stealing digital equipment.
• Hardware vandalism involves defacing or destroying digital
equipment
• Hardware failure can occur due to variety of reasons: aging
hardware, natural or man-made disasters, or random
events such as electrical power problems, and even errors
in programs or apps.
Hardware Theft, Vandalism, and Failure
• To help reduce the of chances of theft, companies and schools use
a variety of security measures
Backing Up – The Ultimate Safeguard
• A backup is a duplicate of a file, program, or
media that can be used if the original is lost,
damaged, or destroyed
• To back up a file means to make a copy of it
• Off-site backups are stored in a location separate
from the computer or mobile device site
Cloud Storage
Backing Up – The Ultimate Safeguard
• Categories of backups:
• Full
• Differential
• Incremental
• Selective
• Continuous data protection
• Three-generation backup policy
Grandparent
Parent
Child
Backing Up – The Ultimate Safeguard
Wireless Security
• Wireless access poses additional security risks
• Some intruders intercept and monitor communications as they
transmit through the air
• Others connect to a network through an unsecured wireless
access point (WAP) or combination router/WAP
Ethics and Society
• Computer ethics are the moral guidelines that govern
the use of computers, mobile devices, and information
systems
• Information accuracy is a concern
• Not all information on the web is correct
Ethics and Society
•Intellectual property refers to unique and original
works such as ideas, inventions, art, writings,
processes, company and product names, and logos
•Intellectual property rights are the rights to which
creators are entitled to their work
•A copyright protects any tangible form of expression
•Digital rights management (DRM) is a strategy
designed to prevent illegal distribution of movies,
music, and other digital content
Ethics and Society
•A code of conduct is a written guideline that
helps determine whether a specification is
ethical/unethical or allowed/not allowed
Ethics and Society
•Green computing involves reducing the electricity
and environmental waste while using computers,
mobile devices, and related technologies
