    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.
