In the recent episode of SecureTalk, Lora D Charles succinctly explains important cybersecurity terms including Firewall, Encryption, Phishing, Two-Factor Authentication (2FA), and Ransomware. Lora describes a Firewall as a barrier between a network and the internet that blocks unauthorized access. She portrays Encryption as a process that scrambles data to ensure its confidentiality. Furthermore, Lora discusses Phishing as a strategy that cyber attackers use to trick individuals into providing sensitive information. She explains 2FA as additional security that requires another form of verification aside from password. Lastly, she discusses Ransomware, the digital equivalent of hostage-taking, where attackers demand payment to unlock the victim's data files.
