    Study Notes

    • Non-repudiation is essential for confirming the authenticity of digital transactions, ensuring integrity of communications, and providing accountability in digital processes
    • Authentication is a security measure that verifies the identity of individuals or entities during a communication or transaction
    • Five commonly used authentication methods: something you know, have, are, do, or are at
    • Multi-Factor Authentication System (MFA) requires users to provide multiple methods of identification for enhanced security
    • Authentication is critical to prevent unauthorized access, protect user data and privacy, and ensure resources are accessed only by valid users
    • Accounting is a security measure that ensures user activities are properly tracked and recorded to create an audit trail, maintain regulatory compliance, and provide user accountability
    • Perform forensic analysis using detailed accounting and event logs to understand and prevent similar incidents from occurring
    • Accounting typically uses technologies like syslog servers, network analysis tools, and Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems
    • Security Controls are categorized into four broad categories: Technical, Managerial, Operational, and Physical
    • Six basic types of security controls: Preventive, Deterrent, Detective, Corrective, Compensating, and Directive
    • Gap analysis is a process used to evaluate the difference between an organization's current performance and its desired performance and develop a plan to bridge the gap.
