Study Notes
Fundamental Security Concepts
- Information security principles form the foundation for advanced topics.
- Core concepts include Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability (CIA).
- CIA triad is the building block of information security.
CIA Triad
- Confidentiality: Ensures only authorized users access data or resources.
- Examples include password-protected files, encryption, and secure channels.
- Integrity: Maintains data accuracy and trustworthiness.
- Measures like checksums, digital signatures, and hashing algorithms.
- Availability: Ensures resources are accessible to authorized users when needed.
- Includes backup systems, fault tolerance, and high availability configurations.
- "Keeping Secrets (Confidentiality), Keeping it Real (Integrity), and Keeping it Accessible (Availability)".
Non-repudiation
- Provides assurance that an operation or transaction occurred and was initiated by a specific entity.
- Digital signatures and stringent authentication methods establish non-repudiation.
Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA)
- Authentication: Proves user identity.
- Authorization: Determines user permissions and actions.
- Accounting: Tracks user activity.
- Analogy: Showing ID (authentication), boarding pass limits (authorization), and travel records (accounting).
Physical Security
- Measures to secure physical assets and infrastructure.
- Bollards, access control vestibules, fencing, video surveillance, security guards, access badges.
Deception and Disruption Technology
- Technologies (honeypots, honeynets, etc.) mislead attackers.
- Collects information about attacker methods.
Zero Trust
- Assumes no trust by default, even for internal systems.
- Focuses on limiting access.
- Core principle: "Never Trust, Always Verify".
Data Plane, Implicit Trust Zones, Subject/System, Policy Enforcement Point
- Data plane controls data flow within the network.
- Implicit Trust Zones allow data free flow within network segments.
- Policy Enforcement Points apply Zero Trust policies.
Gap Analysis
- Identifies the difference between current and desired security posture.
- Essential for assessing existing security controls and determining needs for improvements.
Adaptive Identity
- Permissions and access may adjust based on actions, devices, and contexts.
