A Red Team looks for weaknesses in security mechanisms, with a view to help plug the holes that might be exploited by cyber-criminals. Proactively avoiding a cybersecurity incident costs less than dealing with a security breach afterward. When defining a cybersecurity strategy, it is always a balancing act between risk and cost. The virtual shutdown of websites by way of overloading them with seemingly legitimate requests sent simultaneously from thousands of machines is termed a DDoS (distributed denial of service) attack.

Arguments AGAINST Net Neutrality
If all Internet traffic is treated equally, it's easier for illicit (offensive, dangerous, illegal) content to be widely available and more difficult to remove. No new infrastructure. If ISPs can't charge more for their services, they will have less incentive and fewer resources to invest in their infrastructure. From the perspective of ISPs, net neutrality does not allow them to prioritize some Internet services to provide better service to customers. Tiresome regulations. Under net neutrality, the FCC must monitor the ISPs' compliance with these rules. This includes submitting reports twice a year, which can become costly for ISPs of any size. From the perspective of ISPs, net neutrality allows Internet service firms (e.g., Google, Netflix, etc.) to "free ride" and earn huge profits by using ISP networks and infrastructure without funneling any of these profits to the ISPs that provide this infrastructure.

Platform as a Service (PaaS)
In this scenario, the cloud firm usually manages the platform (hosting, hardware, and supporting software), while the client has control over the creation and deployment of their applications.

Lock your computer screen and mobile devices every time you step away.
ransomware
Malware that encrypts a user's files (or perhaps threatens to delete them) and demands that a user pay to regain control of their data and/or device.
Arguments SUPPORTING Net Neutrality
No exclusion of content. Everything on the internet is available to everyone. No additional costs for content type whether you are streaming a video or gaming online. Small creators, such as YouTube channel creators, have a level playing field of having their content viewed. Freedom of Expression. ISPs won't censor the Internet. Startups have a greater chance of being successful with a web presence and having their content viewed.
Which of the following is a TRUE statement about websites, URLs, and phishing? Select all that apply.
One of the reasons one should be careful about clicking on any URL in an e-mail is that hackers can easily embed a redirection in e-mail links, rerouting a user to an alternate online destination.
