Cybersecurity
This field protects computers, networks, systems, and data from being stolen, changed, damaged, or shut down.
Cybersecurity
Known as the “brain” of the computer, this component performs instructions and calculations.
CPU
Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS are all examples of this type of software.
OPERATING SYSTEM
This Python function displays information on the screen.
print()
This Linux command displays the directory you are currently working in.
pwd
The three letters in this security framework stand for Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability.
CIA Triad
This temporary workspace stores information being actively used and is usually cleared when the computer restarts.
RAM
This innermost and most privileged part of an operating system communicates directly with the hardware.
KERNEL
This data type stores text and is normally written inside quotation marks.
String
This Linux command lists the files and folders in the current directory.
ls
A student secretly changing their own grade is an attack on this part of the CIA Triad.
Integrity
This internet service works like a phonebook by changing a website name into an IP address.
DNS
This type of interface allows users to interact with a computer by clicking icons, buttons, menus, and windows.
GUI
This symbol begins a comment that Python ignores when running a program.
# (hash or pound key)
This command is used to move from one Linux directory to another.
cd
A weakness in a system that an attacker could exploit is called this.
Vulnerability
This secure web protocol encrypts information sent between your browser and a website.
https
This interface lets users control a computer by typing commands into a terminal.
CLI
This Python structure allows a program to choose between different actions based on whether a condition is true or false.
An IF Statement
This command creates a new directory in Linux.
mkdir
This security concept considers the threat, vulnerability, likelihood, and possible impact of an attack.
Risk
This authentication method requires something more than a password, such as a code sent to your phone.
MULTI FACTOR AUTHENTICATION
This technology creates an isolated “computer inside a computer” that can safely run another operating system.
VIRTUAL MACHINE
This reusable block of Python code is created using the def keyword.
function
Investigators often examine this Linux directory because it contains system logs the computer’s “diary.”
