Study Notes

Physical Devices and Jurisdictions

Physical devices such as PCs, networks, wires, grids, and routers are located within jurisdictions/authorities, which is important for law enforcement when searching for devices used to run criminal enterprises and cybercrimes.

Cyberspace Layers

Cyberspace consists of four layers:
- Physical layer: consists of physical devices such as PCs, networks, wires, grids, and routers.
- Logic layer: defines and creates the platform nature of the Internet, built out of components that provide services for users, such as social media, content, shopping, etc.
- Information layer: includes the creation and distribution of information and interaction between users, where users can create and access information, including music, books, videos, and pictures.
- Personal layer: not further described in the provided text.

Information Security

Information Security is defined as protecting information and information systems from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, or destruction to provide integrity, confidentiality, and availability.
Information Security includes the broad areas of:
- Information security management
- Computer and data security
- Network security

Cybersecurity

Cybersecurity is the protection of valuable resources stored and connected to the network, covering human behaviors to technological procedures.
Cybersecurity domains include:
- Security Engineering
- Framework and Standard
- Data Security
- Software Security
- Component Security
- Connection Security
- System Security
- Human Security
- Organizational Security
- Societal Security

Cybersecurity Domains

Security Engineering includes:
- Security Architecture
- Access Control
- Cloud Security
- Data Protection
- Network Design
- Secure Application Development
- System Integration
- Cryptography
Framework and Standard includes:
- Physical Security
- Risk Assessment
- Governance
- Threat Intelligence
- Security Operations
- User Education
- Career Development

Cyberattacks

A cyberattack is getting access to legitimate systems illegally and establishing control over them to carry out malicious activities.
Cybersecurity components include:
- Regulating physical access and controlling malicious intrusion.

Cybersecurity Professionals

Cybersecurity professionals must be informed and flexible to identify and manage potential new threats effectively, such as advanced persistent threats (APTs).
APTs are attacks by an adversary who possesses sophisticated levels of expertise and significant resources, allowing the attacker to create opportunities to achieve its objectives using multiple attack vectors.
