MAC (Media Access Control) access control offers several advantages in network security by restricting access based on physical addresses of devices: Enhanced Network Security: MAC access control prevents unauthorized devices from connecting to the network, reducing the risk of network attacks and unauthorized access to sensitive information. Device Authentication: It allows administrators to authenticate devices … Read more
Network security encompasses measures and practices designed to protect the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of data and resources within a computer network. It involves safeguarding network infrastructure, devices, and data from unauthorized access, attacks, and vulnerabilities. Network security aims to prevent unauthorized users or malicious entities from compromising network resources, stealing sensitive information, disrupting network … Read more
In cloud computing, a hotfix refers to a software update or patch that is applied to fix a critical issue or vulnerability in an application, service, or infrastructure component hosted in the cloud. Hotfixes are typically deployed urgently to address specific problems that could impact system stability, security, or performance. Unlike regular updates or patches, … Read more
Cloud computing is known for its capability to deliver on-demand access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (such as networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) over the internet. This model allows users to quickly scale resources up or down based on demand, pay only for what they use, and access applications and data … Read more
The steps of an intrusion detection system (IDS) typically include data collection, data analysis, detection, alert generation, and response. Data collection involves gathering information from various sources such as network traffic, system logs, and application activities. Data analysis examines this information to identify patterns or behaviors indicative of an intrusion. Detection methods, such as signature-based … Read more
HTTPS (HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure) ensures secure communication over a computer network, typically the internet. It employs encryption to protect data integrity and privacy. Here are the steps involved: HTTPS works by establishing a secure connection between a client (e.g., a web browser) and a server (e.g., a website). The process includes the following steps: … Read more
A Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is a type of deep learning algorithm designed for processing structured grid data, such as images. It consists of multiple layers, including convolutional layers, pooling layers, and fully connected layers, which work together to automatically and adaptively learn spatial hierarchies of features from input data. CNNs are used primarily for … Read more
HTTPS, or HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure, is a protocol used for secure communication over a computer network, typically the internet. It combines the standard HTTP with SSL/TLS encryption protocols to ensure that data exchanged between the client (such as a web browser) and the server (such as a website) remains confidential and integral. HTTPS works … Read more
The five steps of firewall protection typically include: Policy Definition: Establishing firewall rules and policies based on organizational security requirements. This involves determining what types of traffic are allowed or blocked based on criteria such as IP addresses, port numbers, protocols, and application types. Configuration: Configuring the firewall settings to enforce the defined security policies. … Read more
Ping works by sending ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) Echo Request packets from one device (often a computer or network device) to another device identified by its IP address. The process involves several steps: First, the sender initiates a ping command with the destination IP address. The sender’s operating system creates an ICMP Echo Request … Read more
