Study Notes

Data Management and Security

In an organization, the person responsible for managing access rights to customer information is the Data Owner or Data Custodian.
Data in use refers to information actively being processed in a system's memory, such as system RAM, CPU registers, or CPU cache.

Data Classification and Security

A Private classification type may be added to a content management system to expand privacy compliance.
Data Obfuscation involves modifying data to make it difficult to understand, but government reports are not considered obfuscated data.
Trade secrets are private details used by a company in their normal business processes and are not shared with other organizations.

Security Policies and Compliance

An insurance company's security policies may require:
- Saving and archiving access records from all devices
- Reporting any data access outside of normal working hours
- Restricting data access to within the country
- Creating access logs and audit reports from a single database
To meet these requirements, the security team may need to:
- Implement time-of-day restrictions on the authentication server
- Consolidate all logs on a SIEM
- Conduct monthly permission auditing
A SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) is used to consolidate logs.

Network Security

A Honeypot is a server configured to attract potential attackers, often with a guest login account and no password.
A Screened subnet is a network segment that is isolated from the Internet and other networks.
SPF (Sender Policy Framework) records are used to list all servers authorized to send emails on behalf of a domain.

Network Architecture

A HSM (Hardware Security Module) is a secure storage solution for private keys across web servers.
Full disk encryption can be used to protect private keys on web servers, but it is not the best way to securely store private keys.
TPM (Trusted Platform Module) is a hardware component that provides secure storage and encryption capabilities.
UEFI BIOS is a firmware interface that provides secure boot capabilities.
