Study Notes
Cybersecurity Awareness and Best Practices
- Public records can be combined with data from other sources by adversaries to target individuals for scams.
- Strong passwords are complex; an example is d+Uf_4RimUz.
- Classified data should only be handled in security areas appropriate for its classification level.
- Access to Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) requires special access authorization and indoctrination into the SCI program.
- Avoid traveling with mobile devices when possible as a cybersecurity best practice.
Cyber Protection Conditions and Data Handling
- Cyberspace Protection Condition (CPCON) 2 limits priority focus to critical and essential functions.
- Using a home computer for printing sensitive reports while teleworking is prohibited, especially when it contains personal employee details.
- Appropriate use of removable media includes encrypting data stored on it.
Mobile Device Security and Internet Safety
- Disabling auto screen locking on mobile devices is not a recommended practice for protecting data.
- Best practices for identity protection include ordering a credit report annually.
- A Government-owned Portable Electronic Device (PED) is permitted in a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF).
- When browsing the internet, only accept cookies from reputable websites.
Risks and Indicators of Cyber Attacks
- Removable media poses various risks, which include unauthorized access or malware.
- Notifications of system updates that have been publicized are not indicators of malicious attacks.
- Receiving unsolicited messages, such as package delivery delays from unknown sources with shortened links, should be approached with caution; the best action is to delete such messages.
Common Security Practices
- Common Access Card (CAC) includes certificates for identification, encryption, and digital signatures.
- To prevent viruses and malicious code, always scan external files before uploading them to your devices.
- Data classified as Secret could cause serious damage to national security if disclosed.
Telework and Reporting Security Issues
- Teleworking requires prior permission from your organization.
- Reporting is essential for behaviors like taking home sensitive information without authorization.
- Sharing innocuous information, such as your pet's name, is less likely to pose security risks on social media.
Transportation Security Considerations
- Using public transport for work-related calls poses security concerns due to eavesdropping and shoulder surfing.
- To safely manage risks associated with compressed URLs, utilize the preview function to verify destination links.
Home Computer Protection
- Activate password protection on home computers to enhance security.
- Insider threats involve individuals misusing their authorized access, whether knowingly or unknowingly, to compromise national security.
