One of the processes of assessing and mitigating risks involves interpreting the results in the context of either explicit risk acceptance or implementing countermeasures to mitigate the risk. This refers to?

What is a type of malware that encrypts an organization’s data and demands payment for the decryption key?

As per Europol's definition of cybercrime, it encompasses any offense that can solely be perpetrated through the use of computers, computer networks, or other forms of information and communication technology.

Malicious attacks, such as Distributed Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, involve overwhelming a server with unnecessary requests, disrupting service for legitimate users. As a result, users may be unable to access a site due to the voluminous traffic. Which principle of cryptography is violated?

The last paragraph of Sec. 2 of RA 10175 states: 'In this light, the State shall adopt sufficient powers to effectively prevent and combat such offenses by facilitating their detection, investigation, and prosecution at both the domestic and international levels and by providing arrangements for fast and reliable international cooperation.'
