The training and skills medium
Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) is a systematic process of collecting, analysing and interpreting data relating to cyber threats.
Its aim is to provide organisations with actionable information to anticipate, prevent and respond to cyber attacks.
The CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) is a standardised public repository that uniquely identifies and catalogues IT security vulnerabilities.
CVSS, an acronym for Common Vulnerability Scoring System, is a standardised system for assessing the seriousness of computer vulnerabilities.
It assigns a numerical score between 0 and 10, reflecting the criticality of a vulnerability and enabling corrective action to be prioritised. This system is maintained by FIRST (Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams).
A cyber attack, also known as a computer attack or cyber attack, is a malicious action carried out via computer networks (mainly the Internet) with the aim of compromising the security, confidentiality, integrity or availability of a system, network or data.
These attacks can target individuals, businesses and critical infrastructures.
A cybercriminal is an individual or group who exploits technical and computer skills to carry out illegal activities online. These activities can target individuals, businesses or even governments, with major economic and social consequences.
According to a study by Cybersecurity Ventures, the global cost of cybercrime will reach 10,500 billion dollars a year by 2025, compared with 3,000 billion in 2015. This explosion in cyber attacks shows just how pervasive the threat has become.
