CompTIA Security+ (SY0-601): Mobile Device Security

Information Technology8 CardsCreated 3 months ago

This section focuses on mobile security concerns such as SIM cloning, Bluetooth-based attacks (bluejacking and bluesnarfing), and geotagging risks. It also highlights device management strategies like BYOD and CYOD, emphasizing storage segmentation to protect corporate data on personal devices.

SIM & SIM Cloning

Subscriber Identity Module:
Integrated circuit that securely stores the international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI) number and its related key

SIM Cloning:
Allows two phones to utilize the same service and allows an attacker to gain access to the phone’s data
SIM v1 cards were easy to clone but newer SIM v2 cards are much harder
Be careful with where you post phone numbers

A Level Computer Science Paper 1: 1.3.2 Databases Part 2

Normalisation is the process of structuring a database to reduce redundancy and improve data integrity. It involves organizing data into tables that meet specific rules—starting with First Normal Form (1NF) and Second Normal Form (2NF)—to ensure each field depends fully on the primary key and that data is stored efficiently.
