Critical infrastructure refers to systems and assets that are essential to an organization or country. Disruption or destruction of these systems could have catastrophic consequences, impacting national security, economic stability, citizen safety and health, transportation, and communications.
Cryptography is the process of applying mathematical algorithms to protect data-at-rest and data-in-transit. It includes three primary components: symmetric encryption, asymmetric encryption, and hashing. Symmetric encryption provides confidentiality while asymmetric encryption provides secure key exchange and digital signatures. Hashing is used for detecting integrity violations.
MITRE operates an online database of attacks, exploits, and compromises for the public benefit. It contains all known attacks and abuses for any type of computer system or software product, often documented in a CVE before vendors release updates or patches to resolve the issues.
A cyberattack is any attempt to breach the security perimeter of a logical environment. It can involve stealing information, damaging business processes, exploiting flaws, monitoring targets, interrupting business tasks, extracting value, causing damage to logical or physical assets, or using system resources to support attacks against other targets. Cyberattacks can be initiated through a vulnerability in a publicly exposed service, tricking a user into opening an infectious attachment, or causing automated installation of exploitation tools through innocent website visits.
The digital environment comprising computers, networks, communication pathways, software, data, and users that form either a local private network or the worldwide internet, within which software operates and data is exchanged and manipulated.
