The learning objectives for this section
is to understand the current threat
and vulnerability landscape.
This means you’ll understand the weaknesses
in systems, and processors, and actions.
You will understand the threats and adversaries
that you personally,
and others,
face on the internet,
from hackers, to encryption regulation, from exploit kits,
to pups and browser hijacking.
These make up the threat landscape.
The selection of appropriate security controls
is based on risk
in consideration of the threat landscape
which we will go through now.
