Study Notes
Document Sharing Procedures
- Government employees must securely share documents containing sensitive information with appropriate clearance only.
- Best practices involve approved methods as per security guidelines.
Derivative Classification
- Security classification guides serve as authoritative sources for derivative classification.
Reporting Sensitive Behavior
- Unauthorized handling or transfer of sensitive information, such as taking it home for telework, should be reported immediately.
Social Media Caution
- Posts featuring alarming content (e.g., smoke at the Pentagon) may be phishing attempts designed to steal personal information.
Common Access Card (CAC) Usage
- CAC is not appropriate for photo identification in commercial settings; it is exclusive to government purposes.
Data Protection Practices
- Automatic screen locking on mobile devices is essential for protecting sensitive data.
Suspicious Communications
- If you receive unexpected messages about package deliveries, especially with links, it is safest to delete the message to avoid phishing attempts.
Home Computer Security
- Enabling password protection on home computers is critical for security against unauthorized access.
Handling Sensitive Information
- Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) must be retrieved properly from printers to prevent unauthorized access.
Physical Security Protocols
- Best physical security practice includes using personal security badges or access codes to enter facilities.
Preventing Data Spillage
- Never purge device memory before connecting to a classified network; this can lead to data spillage and unauthorized access.
Unclassified Data Controls
- DoD unclassified data may still require specific access and distribution controls to maintain security.
Home Wireless Network Security
- Avoid using preset router service set identifiers (SSIDs) and passwords; create unique ones for enhanced security.
Use of Classified Data
- Classified data is permitted only in a Secure Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF).
Response to Potential Security Breaches
- If sensitive information is potentially overheard, contact a security Point of Contact (POC) immediately with details.
Indicators of Malicious Code
- Standard notifications for system updates are not indicators of a malicious code attack.
Insider Threat Indicators
- Prolonged good performance does not necessarily indicate insider threat but requires vigilance in monitoring unusual behaviors.
Storing Government Media
- Removable media should be stored in GSA-approved containers based on their security classification for protection.
Best Practice for Government Emails
- Mass emails should be avoided to protect sensitive information and maintain communication integrity.
Appropriate Use of Removable Media
- Encrypting data when using removable media is a best practice to prevent unauthorized access.
Risks of Removable Media
- Many risks are associated with removable media usage, including potential data breaches if not handled securely.
Protected Health Information (PHI)
- PHI is not classified as controlled unclassified information but is instead protected under health privacy laws.
Online Identity Formation
- Online identity is shaped by various factors, including social media use, browsing habits, and personal disclosures.
Internet Browsing Safety
- Accept cookies only from reputable and trusted websites to minimize security risks while browsing online.
