Port scanning often reveals more about the scanner’s methodology and tooling than the target’s vulnerabilities, shifting the analytical focus to behavioural detection.
Cyber Attacks
Difference Between Session Hijacking and Spoofing: Mechanisms and Defences
Session hijacking steals an active connection token while spoofing impersonates an identity at the protocol level, requiring distinct detection strategies.
Cyber Attacks
Network segmentation for IoT devices: isolate risk and limit breach impact
Isolating internet-connected devices into separate logical zones prevents a compromised sensor from accessing sensitive corporate data or critical infrastructure.
