INITIAL IDEA 1 - ENDPOINT SECURITY

Source: https://www.42gears.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/featured.jpg

What is Endpoint Security?

My initial idea pertains to endpoint security, which is an essential module in my cybersecurity path. Endpoint security is a cybersecurity approach used to defend endpoints such as desktops, laptops, and mobile devices from malicious activities (Crowdstrike, n.d.). According to Crowdstrike, a top endpoint security company, protecting endpoints is crucial in cybersecurity, from small businesses to large corporations.

Why Secure Your Endpoints?

The Ponemon Institute conducted a study that found 68% of organizations have experienced one or more endpoint attacks that successfully compromised data and/or their IT infrastructure (Expert Insights, 2021). Endpoints provide a large attack surface, and implementing endpoint security solutions can help reduce those attack surfaces. While it's impossible to completely eliminate cyberattacks, reducing the possibilities or chances of an attack occurring is possible.

How do you Secure your Endpoints?

According to the IEE Computer Society, the following steps are the best way to protect your endpoint:

1. Identify your endpoint
2. Data Access Policy
3. IoT Security
4. Data encryption
5. Enforce Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) Policy
6. Advanced and Automated Endpoint Protection
7. Awareness

Models and Methodologies

Source: https://draft.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/4645394287292363993/7218885967669883525# Today would be on the ethical methodologies used in carrying out an ethical hack/attack. In every sector, there are models, ethics and procedures from law to medicine and so is the case in cybersecurity and particularly ethical hacking. There are steps an ethical hacker needs to follow because we are ethical people backed by the law to do what we do so. The processes are a six-step industry standard process which is:  1. Reconnaissance Upon receiving explicit and contractual consent from the organization, the reconnaissance portion of the hacking process can begin. This involves collecting as much information as possible about the “target” using the various tools at the hacker’s disposal, including the company website, internet research, and even social engineering. These are all similar to the types of behaviours that a malicious hacker would engage in when attempting to breach an organi...

This section outlines the key steps and processes undertaken by the ethical hacking team to assess the organization's cybersecurity measures. The first step in the methodology involved the selection of a qualified and experienced ethical hacking team. The team's expertise in various aspects of cybersecurity, such as network security, web application security, and social engineering, ensured a comprehensive assessment across different attack vectors. Careful consideration was given to the team's certifications, qualifications, and track record of successful engagements...
