Security + F

Question 1

FACL:

Answer 1

File System Access Control List ACLs (or FACLs) are a way to manage granular permissions on individual files and directories, giving specific users access that doesn’t depend on the owner or group of the file.
They allow for more precise control over who can access what.

Question 2

FDE:

Answer 2

Full Disk Encryption FDE encrypts the entire storage drive, making all data unreadable to unauthorized users. It’s a security method that protects all files, applications, and system files on the drive.
Miradore differentiates it from File-Level Encryption (FLE), which encrypts individual files.

Question 3

FIM:

Answer 3

File Integrity Management,FIM is a cybersecurity technology that monitors and verifies the integrity of files, like OS, database, and application files.
It checks if files have been tampered with or corrupted by comparing them to known baselines, ensuring they haven’t been altered.

Question 4

FPGA:

Answer 4

Field Programmable Gate Array,FPGAs are integrated circuits that can be programmed and reprogrammed after manufacturing by the end user.
They offer flexibility in configuring hardware to meet specific needs.

Question 5

FRR:

Answer 5

False Rejection Rate,FRR measures the rate at which legitimate users are incorrectly rejected by a system, indicating how well the system identifies valid users.
A higher FRR means the system is rejecting legitimate users more frequently.

Question 6

FTP:

Answer 6

File Transfer Protocol,FTP is the standard protocol for transferring files between computers.

Question 7

FTPS:

Answer 7

Secured File Transfer Protocol, FTPS is a secure version of FTP that uses SSL/TLS encryption to protect data in transit.
