WHAT ARE THE RISK?:

WHAT ARE THE RISK? Vulnerabilities Phishing Virus Hacking Trojan horses

VULNERABILITIES:

VULNERABILITIES In computer security, vulnerability is a weakness which allows an attacker to reduce a system's information assurance. To be vulnerable, an attacker must have at least one applicable tool or technique that can connect to a system weakness

IDENTIFYING & REMOVING VULNERABILITIES:

IDENTIFYING & REMOVING VULNERABILITIES Removal methods constant vigilance best practices in deployment auditing

PHISHING:

PHISHING In the field of computer security, phishing is the criminally fraudulent process of attempting to acquire sensitive information such as usernames, passwords and credit card details by masquerading as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication.

PHISHING TECHNIQUES Phishing techniques Link manipulation Filter evasion Phone phishing

LINK MANIPULATION:

LINK MANIPULATION Most methods of phishing use some form of technical deception designed to make a link in an e-mail (and the spoofed website it leads to) appear to belong to the spoofed organization The following example link, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genuine, appears to take you to an article entitled "Genuine"; clicking on it will in fact take you to the article entitled "Deception"

FILTER EVASION:

FILTER EVASION Phishers have used images instead of text to make it harder for anti-phishing filters to detect text commonly used in phishing e-mails.

PHONE PHISHING:

PHONE PHISHING Not all phishing attacks require a fake website Messages that claimed to be from a bank told users to dial a phone number regarding problems with their bank accounts Vishing (voice phishing) sometimes uses fake caller-ID data to give the appearance that calls come from a trusted organization.
