Challenges in Modern Security Systems

The video discusses the evolution of cyber threats from lone hackers to organized cyber criminals. It highlights two major shortfalls of traditional security systems: their reliance on rules-based approaches and their inability to scale with modern organizations. As threats evolve rapidly, attackers constantly change their tools and methods, making it difficult for traditional systems to keep up. The complexity of modern organizations, with a mix of old and new technologies, further complicates security efforts, especially in areas like patching and vulnerability management.

How have cyber threats evolved over time?

• From physical threats to digital threats

• From government attacks to individual attacks

• From lone hackers to organized cyber criminals

• From organized groups to lone hackers

What is a major limitation of rules-based security systems?

• They rely on predefined rules that may not cover new threats

• They are based on outdated technology

• They are too expensive to implement

• They require constant human monitoring

How do attackers adapt their methods?

• By avoiding detection systems

• By constantly evolving their tools and techniques

• By using the same tools repeatedly

• By targeting only small organizations

Why is it difficult for traditional security systems to keep up with modern organizations?

• They are too costly to maintain

• They require specialized hardware

• They cannot scale at the pace of organizational changes

• They are not compatible with new technologies

What makes maintaining security hygiene in modern organizations complex?

• The integration of both old and new technologies

• The need for constant software updates

• The high cost of security tools

• The lack of skilled security professionals

What is one of the challenges in vulnerability management?

• Monitoring network traffic

• Implementing physical security measures

• Training employees on security protocols

• Identifying all potential weaknesses

What is a basic security practice that is challenging for modern organizations?

• Encrypting data

• Using strong passwords

• Patching vulnerabilities

• Installing antivirus software
