Identity and Access Management

Identity And Access Management

• Authentication: Verifying the identity of a user, device, or system
  • Factors: Something you know (password), something you have (token), something you are (biometric)
  • Methods: Username/password, smart cards, biometrics, one-time passwords
• Authorization: Granting or denying access to resources based on user identity
  • Access Control Models: Mandatory Access Control (MAC), Discretionary Access Control (DAC), Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
• Accountability: Tracking and monitoring user activities
  • Auditing, logging, and monitoring user actions

Communication And Network Security

• Network Fundamentals: OSI model, TCP/IP, IP addressing, routing, switching
• Network Security: Protecting networks from unauthorized access
  • Firewalls: Network-based, host-based, application-based
  • VPNs: Site-to-site, remote access, SSL/TLS
• Secure Communication: Protecting data in transit
  • Cryptography: Symmetric, asymmetric, hashing, digital signatures
  • Secure protocols: SSL/TLS, SSH, SFTP

Asset Security

• Asset Classification: Categorizing assets based on sensitivity and criticality
  • Confidentiality, integrity, availability
• Data Protection: Protecting data at rest and in transit
  • Encryption, access controls, backup and recovery
• Media Protection: Protecting physical media and storage devices
  • Sanitization, destruction, disposal

Security And Risk Management

• Risk Management: Identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks
  • Risk assessment methodologies: Qualitative, quantitative, hybrid
• Security Policy: Establishing organizational security policies and procedures
  • Policy development, implementation, and maintenance
• Compliance and Audit: Ensuring adherence to laws, regulations, and standards
  • Compliance frameworks, audit methodologies, audit types

Security Engineering

• Security Architecture: Designing and implementing secure systems
  • Secure design principles, secure protocols, cryptography
• Vulnerability Management: Identifying and remediating vulnerabilities
  • Vulnerability scanning, penetration testing, patch management
• Incident Response: Responding to security incidents
  • Incident response methodologies, incident response teams

Identity And Access Management

• Authentication involves verifying the identity of a user, device, or system using factors such as something you know (password), something you have (token), or something you are (biometric).
• Authentication methods include username/password, smart cards, biometrics, and one-time passwords.
• Authorization grants or denies access to resources based on user identity.
• Access Control Models include Mandatory Access Control (MAC), Discretionary Access Control (DAC), and Role-Based Access Control (RBAC).
• Accountability tracks and monitors user activities through auditing, logging, and monitoring user actions.

Communication And Network Security

• Network Fundamentals include the OSI model, TCP/IP, IP addressing, routing, and switching.
• Network Security protects networks from unauthorized access using firewalls (network-based, host-based, application-based) and VPNs (site-to-site, remote access, SSL/TLS).
• Secure Communication protects data in transit using cryptography (symmetric, asymmetric, hashing, digital signatures) and secure protocols (SSL/TLS, SSH, SFTP).

Asset Security

• Asset Classification categorizes assets based on sensitivity and criticality, considering confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
• Data Protection protects data at rest and in transit using encryption, access controls, and backup and recovery.
• Media Protection protects physical media and storage devices using sanitization, destruction, and disposal.

Security And Risk Management

• Risk Management identifies, assesses, and mitigates risks using qualitative, quantitative, and hybrid risk assessment methodologies.
• Security Policy establishes organizational security policies and procedures, including policy development, implementation, and maintenance.
• Compliance and Audit ensures adherence to laws, regulations, and standards using compliance frameworks, audit methodologies, and audit types.

Security Engineering

• Security Architecture designs and implements secure systems using secure design principles, secure protocols, and cryptography.
• Vulnerability Management identifies and remediates vulnerabilities using vulnerability scanning, penetration testing, and patch management.
• Incident Response responds to security incidents using incident response methodologies and incident response teams.
