    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.
