Cloud security shared responsibility: provider secures infrastructure of the cloud, you secure your data and applications in the cloud.
Threat modeling process: identify assets to protect like data and systems, identify threat actors like hackers or insiders, and analyze attack vectors.
Common breach causes: weak credentials like default passwords, unpatched vulnerabilities with known fixes, misconfigured cloud storage.
Security risk management: identify threats and assets, assess likelihood and impact of each risk, then mitigate through controls and monitoring.
Cybersecurity explained: the threat landscape, how phishing and attacks work, NIST 2024 password guidance, MFA types compared, zero trust model, and what individuals vs organizations should do.
Mobile security threats: data leakage from insecure storage, weak authentication enabling hijacking, malicious apps, and network interception attacks.
Encryption converts readable data into an unreadable format that only authorized parties can decode, protecting information from interception and theft.
