Study Notes
Cybersecurity Pillars
- Cybersecurity has three main pillars: people, process, and technology.
- These pillars are essential for any organization to achieve their business goals and protect against cyber threats.
Importance of Cybersecurity
- Cybersecurity is critical for protecting organizations and their customers’ sensitive information.
- Compliance with legal regulations, such as privacy laws, drives the need for strong security measures.
- Organizations need a strategic approach to cybersecurity to achieve their desired level of security.
Understanding Security Fundamentals
- The three core fundamentals of cybersecurity are: confidentiality, integrity, and availability (CIA triad).
- These fundamentals form the basis for all security assessment and protection efforts.
Confidentiality
- Keeping information secret and preventing unauthorized access or disclosure.
- Key controls for confidentiality include:
- Encryption: Converting data into an unreadable format using a key, ensuring only authorized individuals can access it.
- Authentication: Verifying the identity of users before granting access to sensitive information, using methods like usernames and passwords, multi-factor authentication (MFA), or biometrics.
Integrity
- Ensuring that data is complete and accurate, and that it has not been tampered with.
- This includes verifying data source, validation, and protecting against unauthorized modifications.
Availability
- Ensuring that systems and data are accessible when needed.
- Includes measures for preventing denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, ensuring system uptime, backup and recovery procedures, and resource management.
Non-Repudiation
- This principle ensures that actions taken cannot be denied or challenged, meaning a user cannot deny that they performed specific actions.
- This is typically achieved through logging, auditing, and other forms of accountability.
