Physical Security
Physical security describes security measures that are designed to deny unauthorized access to facilities, equipment and resources and to protect personnel and property from damage or harm (such as espionage, theft, or terrorist attacks). Physical security involves the use of multiple layers of interdependent systems that can include CCTV surveillance, security guards, protective barriers, locks, access control, perimeter intrusion detection, deterrent systems, fire protection, and other systems designed to protect persons and property. Overview Physical security systems for protected facilities are generally intended to: * deter potential intruders (e.g. warning signs, security lighting and perimeter markings); * detect intrusions and monitor/record intruders (e.g. intruder alarms and CCTV systems); and * trigger appropriate incident responses (e.g. by security guards and police). It is up to security designers, architects and analysts to balance security controls against ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
69 (number)
69 (sixty-nine) is the natural number following 68 and preceding 70. In mathematics 69 is: * a lucky number. * a semiprime. * a Blum integer, since the two factors of 69 are both Gaussian primes. * the sum of the sums of the divisors of the first 9 positive integers. * the third composite number in the 13-aliquot tree. The aliquot sum of sixty-nine is 27 within the aliquot sequence (69,27,13,1,0). * a strobogrammatic number. * a centered tetrahedral number. Because 69 has an odd number of 1s in its binary representation, it is sometimes called an " odious number." 69 is the only number whose square () and cube () use every decimal digit from 0–9 exactly once.David Wells: ''The Penguin Dictionary of Curious and Interesting Numbers'' 69 is equal to 105 octal, while 105 is equal to 69 hexadecimal. This same property can be applied to all numbers from 64 to 69. On many handheld scientific and graphing calculators, the highest factorial that can be calculated, due to m ...

Multi-factor Authentication
Multi-factor authentication (MFA; encompassing two-factor authentication, or 2FA, along with similar terms) is an electronic authentication method in which a user is granted access to a website or application only after successfully presenting two or more pieces of evidence (or factors) to an authentication mechanism: knowledge (something only the user knows), possession (something only the user has), and inherence (something only the user is). MFA protects user data—which may include personal identification or financial assets—from being accessed by an unauthorized third party that may have been able to discover, for example, a single password. A ''third-party authenticator'' (TPA) app enables two-factor authentication, usually by showing a randomly generated and frequently changing code to use for authentication. Factors Authentication takes place when someone tries to log into a computer resource (such as a network, device, or application). The resource requires the ...

Bug Bounty Program
A bug bounty program is a deal offered by many websites, organizations and software developers by which individuals can receive recognition and compensation for reporting bugs, especially those pertaining to security exploits and vulnerabilities. These programs allow the developers to discover and resolve bugs before the general public is aware of them, preventing incidents of widespread abuse and data breaches. Bug bounty programs have been implemented by a large number of organizations, including Mozilla, Facebook, Yahoo!, Google, Reddit, Square, Microsoft, and the Internet bug bounty. Companies outside the technology industry, including traditionally conservative organizations like the United States Department of Defense, have started using bug bounty programs. The Pentagon's use of bug bounty programs is part of a posture shift that has seen several US Government Agencies reverse course from threatening white hat hackers with legal recourse to inviting them to pa ...

Blue Team (computer Security)
A blue team is a group of individuals who perform an analysis of information systems to ensure security, identify security flaws, verify the effectiveness of each security measure, and to make certain all security measures will continue to be effective after implementation. History As part of the United States computer security defense initiative, red teams were developed to exploit other malicious entities that would do them harm. As a result, blue teams were developed to design defensive measures against such red team activities. Incident response If an incident does occur within the organization, the blue team will perform the following six steps to handle the situation: #Preparation #Identification #Containment #Eradication #Recovery #Lessons learned Operating system hardening In preparation for a computer security incident, the blue team will perform hardening techniques on all operating systems throughout the organization. Perimeter defense The blue team must always be ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Red Team
A red team is a group that plays the role of an adversary to provide security feedback from an antagonist's perspective. Red teams are used in many fields, especially in cybersecurity, airport security, law enforcement, the military and intelligence agencies. Cybersecurity In cybersecurity, a penetration test involves ethical hackers attempting to break into a computer system, with no element of surprise. The blue team (defending team) is aware of the penetration test and is ready to mount a defense. A red team goes a step further, and adds physical penetration, social engineering, and an element of surprise. The blue team is given no advance warning of a red team, and will treat it as a real intrusion. A red-team assessment is similar to a penetration test, but is more targeted. The goal is to test the organization's detection and response capabilities. The red team will try to get in and access sensitive information in any way possible, as quietly as possible.
