Study Notes
Cybersecurity Best Practices
- Use a government-issued wired headset with microphone for unclassified laptops in classified spaces to maintain security protocols.
- Avoid sending mass emails from government accounts to prevent information overload and potential security breaches.
- A USB hub is an acceptable personally owned peripheral for use with Government Furnished Equipment (GFE).
Mobile Device Security
- Do not disable automatic screen locking on mobile devices; this feature is essential for data protection.
- Be cautious with unsolicited phone calls offering gifts; they may be attempts at social engineering. Always decline such offers.
Data Protection Strategies
- Regularly scan external files before uploading to your computer to prevent viruses and malicious code.
- Printed Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) must be promptly retrieved from printers to maintain document confidentiality.
Handling Sensitive Information
- Access to SCI requires Top Secret clearance and indoctrination into the SCI program, ensuring only authorized personnel handle sensitive data.
- It is inappropriate to forward unverified emails regarding health risks, as they may spread misinformation.
Password Security
- A strong example of a password is "d+Uf_4RimUz," showcasing the importance of complexity in password creation.
- To safeguard online identity, ordering a credit report annually is highly recommended.
Wireless Network Safety
- Avoid using pre-set router SSIDs and passwords for home wireless networks to enhance security against unauthorized access.
Recognizing Phishing Attempts
- Emails from unknown personal addresses requesting urgent information may represent spear phishing attempts; verify with known contact methods.
Removable Media Risks
- Using removable media can introduce malicious code and compromise system integrity, confidentiality, and availability.
Insider Threat Indicators
- Assessing insider threats requires careful observation; in the provided example, Elyse shows no indicators of risk.
Social Engineering Awareness
- Sharing innocuous personal information, like a pet’s name, is typically low-risk, but caution is still advised on social networking sites.
