Information Security Principles

Confidentiality: protect sensitive information from unauthorized access
- Access Control
- Encryption
- Lock Screen
Integrity: ensure data accuracy and completeness
- Digital Signature
- Cryptographic Function
- Message Authentication Code
- Check sums (Hash)
Availability: ensure system availability and redundancy
- HA Design
- DDOS Protection
- Backup-Restore
- Maintain Procedure Operation

Data Protection

3 States of Digital Data:
- Data at Rest: stored data
- Data in Transit: data being transmitted
- Data in Use: data being processed
3 States of Digital Data Protection:
- Data at Rest: encrypt data
- Data in Transit: encrypt data end-to-end
- Data in Use: control access and usage

Defense in Depth Framework

A layered approach to security, using multiple security controls to protect data
From traditional security methods to modern defense in depth framework

Data Classification

Classification of data based on sensitivity and importance
Data classification policies:
- Least Privilege: limit access to sensitive data
- Need to Know: limit access to data based on job requirements
- Separation of Duties: divide responsibilities to prevent single-point failures

Secure by Design

A security-focused approach to software development
6-step software development life cycle:
1. Requirement
2. Design
3. Deployment
4. Testing
5. Development
6. Production/Maintenance

Information Security Threats

Malware vs Virus
3 Most Common Viruses
Top Global Risks:
- Cloud security threats
- Misinformation and Disinformation
- IoT/OT technology risks
- Artificial Intelligence (AI) risks
