Cybersecurity Concepts

The practices and technologies that protect information from attack, damage, and unauthorized access.

Information that is publicly available and can be used to improve an attacker's understanding of the target. Sources include media, Internet, Government data, and more.

Posting someone's personal information online without their consent, often with the intent to embarrass or discredit them.

Entities that collect, organize, and sell data about individuals or organizations.

Protecting data from corruption and errors, ensuring that confidential data remains private, and making sure that data is available to authorized users.

Information about individuals that should remain private, such as social security numbers, fingerprints, and birth dates.

Convincing someone to do something you want, or give you information you want, often without the person considering the negative consequences of the action.

Information embedded in digital images such as GPS coordinates, shutter speed, and the date and time that the image was captured.
