    Study Notes

    Cyber Security Plan

    • When creating a cyber security plan, a company should first evaluate its current security measures
    • Top management support is critical to cyber security success throughout the planning, implementation, and execution stages.
    • Top management should demonstrate their support by ensuring adequate budgeting and following security procedures themselves.
    • Policies are statements outlining actions to be taken in specific situations.

    User Acceptance and Security Policies

    • Policies should be user-friendly to prevent users from bypassing them, which can be a significant security risk.
    • Standards are mandatory security rules, while guidelines are discretionary but should be carefully considered by decision-makers.

    Authentication

    • Authentication verifies a user's identity when accessing resources.
    • Authentication factors include: Something you have, Something you know, Something you are.

    Security Passwords

    • Short and simple passwords are easily guessed by hackers.
    • Biometric technology, such as fingerprint scanners, enhances customer trust by combating fraud.
    • Biometric technology can experience "false acceptance" where a person is incorrectly matched to a template.
    • Attackers can deliberately try to deceive biometric systems.
    • Fingerprint recognition is not easily deceived; it is used frequently, and scanners have become more affordable.
