How does Lightcast define a skill?
Certified Computer Forensics Examiner

Certified Computer Forensics Examiner refers to the knowledge and methods used to identify, preserve, analyze, and document digital evidence from computer systems and related storage media. It is applied in investigations to support the recovery of data, the reconstruction of user activity, and the preparation of findings for legal or disciplinary review. The skill also includes maintaining evidence integrity and producing clear reports that can be reviewed by technical and nontechnical audiences.

Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) is a type of cyberattack that tricks the victim into performing an action on a website or application without their knowledge or consent. It requires a specialized skill set and knowledge of web development and security vulnerabilities. The attacker typically sends a malicious request to a user's browser, which then executes the request on the user's behalf, potentially leading to unauthorized actions or data breaches. Preventing CSRF attacks requires implementing proper security measures, such as using nonce tokens and disabling HTTP requests from other domains.

Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) is a type of security vulnerability that allows attackers to inject malicious scripts into web pages viewed by other users. It requires a specialized skill set to exploit it as well as to defend against it. XSS can have serious consequences, including stealing user data or taking control of a victim's account. It is important for developers to understand XSS and take steps to prevent it in their applications.

SQL Injection is a type of cyber attack where an attacker injects malicious SQL code into a vulnerable database or application, allowing them to manipulate or access data they should not have access to. It requires specialized knowledge of SQL and programming to execute successfully.

Web Application Security refers to the practice of protecting web applications from various security threats and vulnerabilities. This skill encompasses knowledge of security protocols, risk assessment, and mitigation strategies that safeguard applications from attacks such as cross-site scripting, SQL injection, and data breaches. Understanding Web Application Security is used to implement secure coding practices, conduct security testing, and ensure compliance with industry standards, thereby enhancing the overall security posture of web applications.
