Frequently Asked Questions (Cybersecurity Fundamentals)
What is the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS)?
CVSS provides a standardized numerical score (0.0 to 10.0) reflecting the severity, exploitability, and impact of software security vulnerabilities.
How does Zero Trust Architecture differ from traditional perimeter security?
Traditional security assumes everything inside the corporate network is trustworthy. Zero Trust operates under a never trust, always verify model for every request.
Why is Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR) preferred over basic antivirus?
Basic antivirus relies on known signature matching. EDR monitors continuous behavioral telemetry to detect and isolate novel zero-day attacks.
