Guardians of the Digital Realm: Strategies for Defense in Modern Cybersecurity
In the ever-evolving landscape of cybersecurity, understanding both human vulnerabilities and technical defenses is crucial for protecting digital infrastructure. This blog explores two fundamental concepts Ethical Hacking and Social Engineering that reflect opposing sides of the cybersecurity spectrum: one being a proactive safeguard, the other a deceptive threat. Ethical hacking involves legally probing systems to uncover and fix weaknesses before malicious hackers can exploit them, while social engineering manipulates human behavior to bypass security barriers entirely. To support these themes, two academic journal reviews are discussed: one delves into Access Control strategies in cloud-native architectures, and the other analyzes Risk Management through structured decision-making methods. Together, these topics paint a comprehensive picture of modern security practices and their challenges in today's interconnected world.
