CIA

Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability, often referred to as the CIA triad, are three core principles of information security:



Confidentiality:

·         Definition: Ensuring that information is only accessible to authorized individuals or entities.

·         Objective: Protecting sensitive data from unauthorized access or disclosure.

 

Integrity:

·         Definition: Ensuring the accuracy, reliability, and trustworthiness of data throughout its lifecycle.

·         Objective: Preventing unauthorized or accidental modification, deletion, or alteration of data.

 

Availability:

·         Definition: Ensuring that information and systems are accessible and usable when needed by authorized users.

·         Objective: Preventing disruptions or downtime, ensuring timely access to data and resources.


In summary, the CIA triad represents the fundamental principles of securing information and systems by maintaining confidentiality, integrity, and availability. These principles serve as a foundation for designing and implementing effective security measures in various contexts, such as IT systems, networks, and data management.

Types of network adapters in virtual box

  Types of network adapters in VirtualBox In VirtualBox there’s multiple types of network adapters that can be used to configure virtual machines for different networking needs. Down below will give you a brief overview of each type. NAT (network address translation) The VM is placed behind a VirtualBox-managed router. This allows the VM to access the external network via the networks host’s IP, but the VM itself remains invisible to the outside. Its most suitable for simple internet access with minimal configuration NAT network This is like NAT, but it allows multiple VM’s to communicate with each other in the same NAT network all while sharing the host’s internet connection. Its commonly used when you want to simulate a small, isolated network of VM’s that can also access the internet. Bridged adapter This VM is connected directly to the physical network as if it is a separate device, it also receives its own IP address from the same network as the host. This is ide...

Then I configured the server with IPv4 address and a subnet mask. to do this you have to press on the server and then go to desktop. Then I filled in all the parameters as seen below. Then I had to configure the DHCP server. To do this I clicked on the server > services > DHCP. Then I turned on the serves and configured the server as seen in this screenshot. For the next step I configured the router with the IPv4 address and subnet mask. To a...
