Closed access Metadata (CSL-JSON)
DOI 10.4018/978-1-6684-9800-2.ch007
Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Many methods continue to be developed to ensure information security in the cyberspace environment. The main objective of this chapter is to examine the vulnerabilities of privilege escalation used by cyber attackers and to explain what can be encountered in possible attack scenarios; measures that can be taken and methods that can be applied.
