Study Notes
Internet Protocols and Security
- HTTPS is the protocol used for transmitting encrypted data over the Internet, ensuring secure communication.
- SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) can be enabled to encrypt email on mobile devices, providing protection for sensitive information.
Email Security Protocols
- S/MIME (Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) is used to add valid certificates to mobile devices, allowing for secure, encrypted email transmission.
Wireless Security
- WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access II) combined with AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) provides the most secure access when configuring wireless access points, protecting against unauthorized access.
Secure Connectivity
- A Virtual Private Network (VPN) should be configured for mobile devices to securely connect to the company network when using unsecured internet connections offsite.
Data Transmission Risks
- Data transmitted over an HTTP protocol is sent in plain text, making it vulnerable to interception and unauthorized access.
Sensitive Information Handling
- Cipher text should be used to send sensitive emails, protecting the information from being readable if intercepted, especially when the recipient's email policies restrict attachments.
Wireless Network Encryption
- For small businesses seeking strong wireless security, WPA2 is recommended as the most effective encryption standard to prevent unauthorized access to the network.
Data Protection Measures
- Full disk encryption is the best option to protect sensitive data on laptops, ensuring that information remains secure if the device is lost or stolen.
Online Security Precautions
- To safeguard online banking transactions, especially on public WiFi, using a VPN can help secure connections and prevent unauthorized access to sensitive information.
