Study Notes
Compromise Recording Principle
- States that sometimes recording main points of intrusion is more desirable than adopting sophisticated measures to forestall it
- Examples: servers in an office network keeping logs of file accesses, emails sent and received, and browsing sessions; web-connected surveillance cameras
Cybersecurity Layers
- Human security controls: phishing simulations and access management to protect mission-critical assets
- Perimeter security controls: physical and digital security methodologies to protect the business
- Network security controls: protect the organization's network and prevent unauthorized access
- Endpoint security controls: protect connections between devices and the network
- Applications security controls: protect access to applications and their internal security
- Data security controls: protect storage, processing, and transfer of data
Sample Cybersecurity Policies
- Virus and Spyware Protection policy: detect, remove, and repair side effects of viruses and security risks
- Firewall Policy: block unauthorized users, detect attacks, and remove unwanted network traffic
- Intrusion Prevention policy: detect and block network attacks, protect applications from vulnerabilities
- LiveUpdate policy: categorized into LiveUpdate Content and LiveUpdate Setting Policy
- Application and Device Control policy: protect system resources from applications and manage peripheral devices
- Exception's policy: exclude applications and processes from detection by virus and spyware scans
- Host Integrity policy: define, enforce, and restore safety of client computers to stay enterprise networks and data secure
Cybersecurity Standards
- Clarify functional and assurance steps to achieve organizational objectives in terms of cybersecurity
- Popular and frequently used standards: SoGP, BSI, and more
- Industrial standards play a critical role in achieving certain objectives in industries
- Examples of standards: security of code in web environments, criteria for testing computer code, assessment of vulnerabilities, and more
Security Layers of Defensive and Offensive in Depth
- Physical layer: tangible aspects of computing (servers, computers, network switches, etc.)
- Perimeter layer: network connecting corporate IT infrastructure to external networks
- Internal Network layer: network within the corporate IT infrastructure
- Host layer: computers running applications
- Applications layer: software manipulating data, target of attack
- Data layer: attacker's ultimate target (database, active directory, documents, etc.)
- Governance, Policies, Procedures, and Awareness: overall governing principles of the security strategy
