Daily vulnerability scans help identify missing patches or updates across endpoints, allowing security teams to ensure compliance with patch management policies. Reference: CompTIA Security+ SY0-701 Study Guide, Domain 4: Security Operations, Section: "Vulnerability Management"​​.

A reflected denial of service (RDoS) attack is a type of DDoS attack that uses spoofed source IP addresses to send requests to a third-party server, which then sends responses to the victim server. The attacker exploits the difference in size between the request and the response, which can amplify the amount of traffic sent to the victim server. The attacker also hides their identity by using the victim’s IP address as the source. A RDoS attack can target DNS servers by sending forged DNS queries that generate large DNS responses. This can flood the network interface of the DNS server and prevent it from serving legitimate requests from end users. References: CompTIA Security+ Study Guide: Exam SY0-701, 9th Edition, page 215-216 1

Ransomware is a type of malware that encrypts the victim’s files and demands a ransom for the decryption key. The ransomware usually displays a message on the infected system with instructions on how to pay the ransom and recover the files. The .ryk extension is associated with a ransomware variant called Ryuk, which targets large organizations and demands high ransoms1.

A non-disclosure agreement (NDA) restricts employees from sharing proprietary or confidential information when they leave the company. Legal consequences may result from violating an NDA.
