What is the main goal of access control in cybersecurity?
The main goal of access control in cybersecurity is to ensure that only authorized users can access specific digital resources.

Which of the following are considered emerging trends in cybersecurity?
Increase in sophisticated supply chain attacks, Growth of IoT expanding attack surfaces, Use of AI-powered cyberattacks
What is the primary distinction between a brute-force attack and a dictionary attack?
A brute-force attack attempts every possible combination of characters until the correct password is found, making it exhaustive but time-consuming. A dictionary attack, in contrast, tries a predefined list of common words and phrases, which is faster but only effective if the password is on the list.
