What's is Threat Modeling?
Threat modeling is a process by which potential threats, such as structural vulnerabilities or the absence of appropriate safeguards, can be identified, enumerated, and mitigations can be prioritized.
What is the difference between data security and privact?
Security is about the safeguarding of data, whereas Data privacy is about proper usage, collection, retention, deletion, and storage of personally identifiable or health information. Data Security is about protection against the unauthorized access and disclosure of data. Encryption is typically used as a security control to mitigate this risk.
What is a penetration test?
A Penetration Test, also known as a Pen Test, is a simulated cyberattack against your Web Application or System Infrastructure and Network to check for exploitable vulnerabilities. Pen Testing aims to identify vulnerabilities and risks which may negatively impact the Confidentiality, integrity, Availability, Security and Privacy of data and information assets.
How often should you assess your security posture?
Cybersecurity posture needs to be assessed regularly. Depending on the organization’s size, this can involve an annual or quarterly review of its security policies, procedures, and technologies. Additionally, companies may need to conduct more frequent assessments in response to environmental changes, such as new threats or regulations. Finally, companies should continuously monitor and assess their security posture by utilizing tools and technologies such as vulnerability scanning, penetration testing, and security posture assessments. These assessments can help identify any potential threats or weak spots in a company’s security posture before it’s exploited by malicious actors.
