Study Notes
Implementing a Strong Security Program
- To prevent cyberattacks, managers must balance the cost of control with the system's benefits and risks involved
- A strong security program consists of multiple layers, including:
Network Security Layer
- Key elements include:
- Authentication methods
- Firewall
- Routers
- Encryption
- Proxy servers
- VPN
- IDS (Intrusion Detection System)
Application Security Layer
- Key elements include:
- Authentication methods
- User roles and accounts
- Data encryption
End-User Security Layer
- Key elements include:
- Security education
- Authentication methods
- Antivirus software
- Data encryption
Responding to a Security Intrusion
- A response plan must be developed in advance, addressing:
- Notification
- Protection of evidence and activity logs
- Containment
- Eradication
- Follow-up
- Organizations must:
- Implement fixes against well-known vulnerabilities
- Conduct periodic IT security audits
- Many organizations use a Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) to monitor, manage, and maintain their computer and network security
Computer Forensics
- Experts collect, examine, and preserve data from computer devices and networks, ensuring integrity and admissibility as evidence in a court of law
