Study Notes
What is Cybersecurity?
- Protects systems, networks, and programs from digital attacks
The CIA Triad
- Confidentially, Integrity, Availability
- Confidentiality: Protects private information from unauthorized access
- Tools: Setting access permissions, encrypting data, multi-factor authentication
- Integrity: Ensures data is not corrupted, changed, or deleted
- Tools: Backups, cryptography, digital signatures
- Availability: Ensures authorized users can access data reliably
- Tools: Server and network monitoring, hardware and software maintenance, disaster recovery plans
Cybersecurity Industry
- Security Engineering
- Information security (InfoSec): Protects data in all forms
- Network security: Protects network infrastructure from unauthorized access
- Application security: Protects applications from attack, includes software and hardware solutions
- Examples: Secure coding, antivirus, firewalls, encryption
- Cloud security: Ensures security of resources stored in cloud environments
- Cryptography: Methods to hide and un-hide information using encryption and hashing algorithms
- Critical infrastructure security: Protects physical systems becoming increasingly digital and networked
- Ex: Energy grids, hospitals, water systems
- Governance and Compliance
- Understand and enforce international, federal, and state security laws and regulations
- Compliance: Enforcing policies and regular audits
- Risk Management and Threat Intelligence
- Continuous gathering of knowledge about potential attacks, including motives, scale, and methods
- Often involves data science and machine learning due to the amount of information to process
- Security Operations
- Implement security principles, monitor incidents, and recover from disasters
