Study Notes
Digital Footprints
- Active digital footprints are intentional traces left online, such as social media posts and filling out online forms.
- Passive digital footprints occur unintentionally, through actions like cookie installations, geolocation tracking, and interaction with social media that informs profiling for advertising.
- Both active and passive footprints can be monitored through various methods and by multiple entities.
Minimizing Your Digital Footprint
- Consider the data trail left online and evaluate personal information shared on profiles.
- Utilize privacy settings across social media platforms and tools like Google Security Check-Up to manage personal data visibility.
- Engage private browsing options in browsers:
- Chrome (Incognito Mode)
- Microsoft Edge (InPrivate Browsing)
- Firefox (Private Window)
- Safari (Private Browsing from settings)
Information Security Threats
- Security threats may result from accidents, human errors, natural disasters, and crimes, leading to various forms of damage.
- Types of accidents include work-related incidents and environmental disasters (nuclear accidents, terrorism).
- Human errors can lead to theft or loss of documentation.
- Natural disasters encompass fire, flood, and earthquakes.
- Crime categories include civil, economic, white collar, street crime, and cybercriminal activities.
The Security Management Process
- Identify security controls: Assess issues and determine protective measures for systems.
- Implement security controls: Deploy mechanisms to prevent security breaches.
- Monitor security controls: Continually address and resolve security issues that may arise post-implementation.
NIST Cybersecurity Framework
- Established by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) as a proactive approach to cyber risk management.
- The framework follows a 5-step methodology, starting with identifying high-value assets and extending to comprehensive management of cybersecurity risks.
