10. Passive attacks can be detected and prevented by: ✓ Using encryption ✓ Using network forensics

    • Brute-force Attack can be prevented by: ✓ Using strong passwords ✓ Locking accounts after a certain number of login attempts ✓ Using 2 step verification (e.g. a code sent to mobile phone to confirm identity) ✓ Using penetration testing
      • Denial-of-Service Attack (DoS) and Distributed Denial-of-Service Attack (DDoS) - can be prevented by: ✓ Using a firewall to control which programs can send and receive data packets, so that only authorised users & trusted programs can access the network.
