As a result, features such as 4K video, Ultra HD, wireless office, and Internet of Things (IoT) can be operated more predictably for advanced applications

cyber certification

Security of data and hardware connected to the internet, including hardware, software, and data, refers to preventing hackers from obtaining access to that information.

Malware

Knowledge of the following:

Viruses, worms, spyware and other types of malicious software fall under the category of malware. It is the action of clicking on a malicious link or attachment on a webpage that activates malware, which then leads to the installation of dangerous software on your computer. As per Cisco reports, malware can be used in the following ways once it has been activated:

The blockage of key components of the network (ransomware)
The installation of additional harmful software
Transmit data from the hard drive in order to obtain information covertly (spyware)
The system is rendered inoperable as a result of disruption of individual components

Emotet

Knowledge of the following:

According to the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), Emotet “is a highly sophisticated, modular banking Trojan that primarily functions as a dropper or downloader of other banking Trojans that appears to be related to banking. As a result, Emotet has been consistently classified as one of the most destructive and costly malware programs.”

Denial of Service (DoS)

Knowledge of the following:

Cyber attacks that cause a denial of service.

DoS: Denial of Service cause computers and networks to be unable to respond to requests. An attack originating from a computer network is called a distributed DoS (DDoS).
Flood Attacks: It is common for cyber attackers to perform a DoS through the use of a flood attack. Cyber attackers may employ several other techniques, and some are able to launch other attacks during the period when the network is down.
Botnets: A botnet, sometimes also referred to as a zombie system, is part of a network whose goal is to overwhelm the processing power of its target. There are many botnets located all around the world, making it nearly impossible to identify them.
