Malware
This security tool monitors and controls incoming and outgoing network traffic
Firewall
This type of attack, disrupts servers, network devices or network communication links.
Denial of Service(DoS)
Without this, chaos, panic and confusion may occur when a threat actor attacks an enterprise
A Disaster Recovery Plan
These devices can be used to keep track of an area around the building and networking closet
Security Cameras
This type of malware causes everything from annoyances to damaging data as it spreads from computer to computer
Viruses
This acronym is often associated with roadside assistance, but in the network security world it stands for this
Authentication, Authorization, Accounting (AAA)
This type of threat involves breaking into a computer to destroy or alter data records
Data Loss and Manipulation
This equipment has weaknesses that include password protection, routing protocols and firewall
Network Equipment Weakness
These types of Physical Security secures doors, rooms, ducts or vents
Locks and Sensors
This type of attack is a malicious attempt to overwhelm an online service and render it unusable
Denial-of-service (DoS)
While this type of software security is often overlooked, it is arguably the most important in securing devices
OS Upgrades, Updates, and Patches
This type of attacker can gain access to a network through software vulnerabilities through hardware attacks or by guessing credentials. They gain access by modifying software or exploiting vulnerabilities
Threat Actor
Linux, MacOS, Windows Server and Windows 10 are subject to this type of vulnerability
Operating System Weakness
DAILY DOUBLE!
This is one of the four classes of physical threats regarding network security
Hardware threats, Environmental threats, Electrical threats, Maintenance threats
This type of password attack uses trial and error in an attempt to guess or crack a password
Brute-force attack
This command in Cisco IOS encrypts all plaintext passwords
*(From Global Config)
service password-encryption
This type of threat involves breaking into a computer to obtain confidential information.
Information Theft
Simple Network Management(SNMP) and Simple Transfer Protocol(SMTP) are this type of vulnerability.
TCP/IP protocol weakness
These are used to monitor and control closet entry to a data center.
Electronic logs
Doing this before a network attack is one of the best ways to prevent data loss
Data backups (regularly and completely)
Because the default values in Cisco IOS are inadequate, this feature can be enabled to help secure a router
