CIA stands for confidentiality, integrity, and availability and these are the three main objectives of information security. For a deeper look into these objectives, check out our  security training classes . ·     The Application Access Layer defines the notion that access to end-user applications have to be constrained to business ought-to-know ·       The Infrastructure Access Layer describes the notion that access to infrastructure components has to be constrained to business ought-to-know. For instance, access to servers.   ·     The Physical Access Layer describes the notion that the physical access to any system, server, computer, data centre, or another physical object storing confidential information has to be constrained to business ought-to-know. ·       Th...

A replay attack is a class of network attack in which an aggressor detects a data communication and deceitfully has it deferred or repeated. The postponement or repeat of the data transmission is carried out by the sender or by the malevolent entity, who intercepts the data and retransmits it. In other words, a replay attack is an attack on the safety protocol using replays of data transmission from another sender into the proposed into reception system, thereby fooling the members into believing they have effectively completed the data transmission. Replay attacks help attackers to gain access to a grid, gain data which would not have been effortlessly available or complete a replica transaction. Note: A replay attack is also known as a playback attack. Averting a Replay Attack Averting such an attack is all about having the right technique of encryption. Encrypted communications carry "keys" within them, and when they're deciphered at the end of the tr...
